• This system would ensure judicial recycling of waste and easy

disposal for the citizens below poverty line in the country.

• Generation of energy from landfill gas to energy plants would

benefit private and public sectors of India.

• It would lead to economic development of the nation in an eco

friendly manner.

Functioning of the project would require an initial

financial budget of 655 Crores along with 150

Challenges and Risks

Initial investment is high.

Infrastructural backdrop and land unavailability.

Functioning inefficiency due to lack of public participation.

Volunteering campaigns may be minimal and failure in effective

communication may result providing inaccurate information.

Mitigating Factors

Obtaining funds from public and private sectors using PPP(Public-Private Partnership)

scheme.Investments are likely because of the benefits like socio-economic growth of the region

due to the nature of our project.

Tie ups with NGO’s,private and public universities.

Integration with municipal corporations hence developing the existing network too.

Public Personalities/celebraties to advertise which would ensure greater public participation.
