 GOVERNMENT SCHEMES FOR
WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Solid waste management Scheme-The State
government’s solid waste management scheme will be implemented in
263 village panchayats of Virudhunagar district. Vehicles to transport the
garbage and tools for collection would be provided for those involved in
garbage clearance. A segregation yard would be constructed at a cost of
Rs. two lakh in all selected panchayats . Under the efforts to make
panchayats open defecation-free, 125 individual toilets and two sanitary
complexes for men and women had been constructed which had already
qualified as open defecation-free panchayat. govt appealed to the people
to keep their surroundings clean to prevent mosquito breeding. Overhead
tanks supplying drinking water to villages should be cleaned once in 15
days and people should approach the nearest government hospital for
treatment of viral fever. They should prevent water stagnation around
their homes. He also advised them not to use plastic products that were
hazardous to the environment.
 E-WASTE DISPOSAL SCHEME
‘E-waste' means waste electrical and electronic equipment,
whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing and
repair process, which are intended to be discarded. The
concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been
enshrined in these rules. As per these Rules the producers are
required to collect e-waste generated from the end of life of
their products by setting up collections centers or take back
systems either individually or collectively. The e-waste
recycling can be undertaken only in facilities authorized and
registered with State Pollution Control Boards/Pollution
Control Committees.
SWACH BHARAT ABHIYAN

accountable mechanism of monitoring latrine
use. The government is aiming to achieve an
Open-Defecation Free (ODF) India by 2 October
2019, the 150th anniversary of the birth of
