Answer:
Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) or Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA) or Clean India Mission was a country-wide campaign from 2014 to 2019, to eliminate open defecation and improve solid waste management (SWM) in urban and rural areas in India. The objectives of the mission also included eradication of manual scavenging, generating awareness and bringing about a behavior change regarding sanitation practices, and augmentation of capacity at the local level. Initiated by the Government of India, the mission aimed to achieve an "open-defecation free" (ODF) India by 2 October 2019, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi.The mission aimed at progressing towards target 6.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals Number 6 established by the United Nations in 2015.
I would like to implement the following plans to make the waste management program successful:
- By recycling waste materials such as empty bottles, new products will be formed which can be used for different purposes
- The waste can be buried in the soil by digging pits. This is the oldest form of waste treatment and the site used for disposal is called Landfill.
- Solid organic wastes can be burned in the presence of air which converts into residue and gaseous products
- Organic materials such as food scraps, paper etc can be decomposed and the resulting organic material can be used for agricultural purposes.
