An overview of legal framework for waste management system in india with special allusion to SWM rules, 2016

Abstract

In early times, the disposal of human and other wastes did not pose a significant problem because the population was small and the amount of land available for assimilation of wastes was large. But the increasing and diversified wastes resulted from the rapid economic growth and overpopulation have made management of solid wastes one of the major concerns of many Municipal Authorities and Urban Local Bodies for the responsibility of supervising public health and sanitation as unhealthy disposal of solid waste is responsible for severe health, environmental and aesthetic problems. The present paper reviews the legal frameworks and profiles available for waste management in India. This paper specially brings to light the reasons and likely implications of solid waste management rules, 2016 and highlights the shortcomings of the rule.
