A Proposal for Solid Waste Management

چکیده
iv FOREWORD Hand in Hand is dedicated to the development and empowerment of disadvantaged groups, and especially rural and tribal families, through grassroots action, research, and education. We see the status of the local natural environment as key in the development process. Since poor and marginalised people lack the resources needed to reduce the negative effects of a degraded environment, a damaged natural environment will hit the most vulnerable groups of society the hardest. At the same time, people living with scarce resources are usually directly dependent on their close natural environment for their daily survival. In this light, Hand in Hand has compiled a proposal for starting up a decentralised solid waste management (SWM) scheme in one panchayat in Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu, India. The project will have a two-sided effect: it will improve the local environment , and, at the same time, offer continuous employment to individuals from socially and economically disadvantaged groups.
