    About the Book :
    In India, the Solid Waste Management (SWM) situation is unsuitable, and it has gotten even worse. In the near future, it is expected that there will be a large amount of solid waste produced, including hazardous and plastic waste. It is said that bad land filling in India has a negative effect on the climate. Because of the poor collection, storage, recycling, and processing of solid waste, the quality of solid waste has deteriorated. However, there are many barriers to successful solid waste management, such as weak methods and ineffective Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, which necessitate the creation of a new job role. Complex job design strategies in the field of solid waste practices are not in line with technical development requirements, necessitating the creation of a new job position. Other impediments include a lack of recognising future hires and upgrade loopholes that encourage internal recruiting. There is also no guarantee of a pay rise for a specific job position in response to changing circumstances, and no capacity-building programme for sanitation workers, especially contractual employees. It is also claimed that there is a connection between employee motivation, job satisfaction, and success.

    Furthermore, due to the organization’s status quo strategy, contracting out practices in the field of (Solid Waste Management (SWM) do not achieve their goals. In order to improve efficiency, an effective organisational structure is also essential. Certain factors are to blame for its failure to function effectively: weak planning, inadequate oversight, the establishment of smaller task groups, anxiety and distrust between the deliberative and executive wings, and the lack of timely intervention from external authorities to resolve disputes.

    On many occasions, the judiciary has actively raised the question of India’s SWM activities. Several times, the Supreme Court and the High Court have issued warnings and ordered the state and federal governments to improve solid waste standards in their jurisdictions. However, in the year 2020, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) stated that India’s solid waste management practices are ineffective.

    The performance of the urban local body in solid waste management is mixed best in the area of collection, recycling and process of waste.

    Commercialization of solid waste practices will enhance solid waste conditions and contribute to the public exchequer, and the presence of private players with a management philosophy would undoubtedly address the poor state of solid waste with appropriate control and oversight in contracting out, and make it profitable.

    Citizen engagement, along with that of other stakeholders, is also expected to kick successful solid waste management practices to the curb.

    The aim of this book is to examine the current state of Solid Waste Management (SWM) practices in Chandigarh..
