Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation (TMC) has been following decentralized solid waste management and encourages on-site management of biodegradable discards since 2013. We were able to understand that the major initiatives in Thiruvananthapuram city over the last 3 years were regarding solid waste management and to turn it into a green city. The following initiatives were taken under the program to drive the change:-
- Green protocol implementation
- Decentralized Waste Management
- Green Army - a platform where individuals & groups work with school students to educate them about segregated waste management and other sustainable living practices in an urban environment
- Waste management awareness festivals
- Zero waste ward initiative
Our team identified a need for an impact analysis of these initiatives and generate performance models that could be used to implement the above initiatives in other districts in Kerala. Multiple innovative solid waste management technologies were also implemented along with the drive in different parts of Trivandrum, and the impact analysis along with regression analysis and optimization of the same were other requirements that we have identified. In our project, we would include:-
- Data collection from various organisations, government bodies, health inspectors and Green Army volunteers across the city.
- Engaging with recognised organisations in the field of solid waste management to identify Key Performance Indicators.
- Identifying and generating models to optimize the new technologies that were implemented as part of the initiative.
- To do a regression analysis of existing inflow and outflow, and assist government agencies in identifying gaps and engage in capacity building activities.
- Generate a template for easy implementation of the above initiatives in other districts.
