The new government in 2014 launched several 'abhiyans' for faster development and improvement in environment and quality of life of citizens. One of the missions is 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' to improve the living environment. Objective of the mission is to prevent many health problems and improve the aesthetic of the cities, towns and villages. Solid waste management in the cities is identified as one of the tasks at hand. Conversion of urban waste to compost is considered an optimum solution to meet the objectives of disposal of waste and providing an organic fertiliser for agriculture.
