A lot of waste is generated from various daily activities of humans, which is called solid waste. If we dispose of waste properly, this waste can become a valuable source of energy. Solid waste is a serious problem in human society in terms of economic development, environmental degradation and health problems. Under solid waste management, household and public level dustbins, compost pits, tricycles/battery-operated tricycles for carrying waste, village-level storage units for plastic waste management, menstrual management units are done. In each revenue village, an amount of Rs. 60 per person for solid waste management in villages with a population of up to 5000 and Rs. 45 per person for solid waste management in villages with a population of more than 5000 is permissible. As per the instructions given in the government decision dated November 21, 2021, there is a provision for the Gram Panchayat to spend 30 percent of the work amount from the grant received from the 15th Finance Commission. While 70 percent of the amount is provided from the Swachh Bharat Mission (SMB) Phase-2 scheme.
