Evaluating The Services Of Municipal Solid Waste Management Through Public Private Partnership In India: A Case Study On Delhi And Bengaluru Waste Management

Abstract

Waste being considered as a waste is a problem which is not letting urban society change its behaviour and perspective towards garbage. Changing consumption patterns in urban cities of India, coupled with an improved standard of living is a significant factor in creating an additional pressure on the municipal solid waste across the Indian cities. Land being a scarce resource is required to be managed properly and so to unbundle the services in the era of technological advancement and innovations, services have been made open to the private sector so that they could incorporate their valuable experience to it. This study evaluates private players as well as the public entities who join hands to enter this forum and tries to understand their functioning and also examine the current public policy involved when location of a disposal plant is determined.
