The educational institutions play very important role in sustainability promotion in the society. But, solid waste
management is one of the challenges that educational institutions have to face in accomplishing sustainability goals.
Even if the waste quantities are not very high, the projection of an inappropriate waste management on internal and
external environmental quality of the educational institutions and nearby areas needs to be addressed. Educational
projects related to waste management represent essential steps in promoting the sustainability concept. Sustainable
waste management complements the green economy concept where the generation of waste is minimised; the
materials being reutilised, recycled or recovered are maximised; while disposed waste is minimised. This calls for an
integrated solid waste management system (ISWM) to be in place especially in residential Institution campus where
1000's of students/staff reside. Also the waste management inside educational institutions can be easily multiplied at
an urban scale. Absence of ISWM leads to pollution of ground and surface water sources and illegal solid waste
dumps. Accumulated solid waste clog drains, causing water stagnation and flooding. According to the Ministry of
Rural Development, approximately 88% of the total disease load is due to lack of clean water and sanitation. ISWM
involves integrating activities namely segregation, collection, storage, transportation, processing and disposal of
solid waste. With such systems in place in institutions, resource recovery and waste recycling can be more easily
and effectively incorporated, reducing the pressure on solid waste disposal sites. Further, it may be tied-up with
municipal solid waste management system framework for periodic waste disposal and therefore recovery in the form
of energy. Linking with "Swachhata Abhiyan" called by Indian Prime Minister in 2014, a project was taken up
under "Design Innovation Centre", to evolve with appropriate ISWM at IIITDMJ, an Institute of national importance
situated at central India. The campaign is named "Parivartan". An initial audit of all the facilities generating waste
has been carried out. The facilities incorporated in the audit were student hall of residences, staff residential
quarters, offices, academic facilities, canteens, student central mess and health centre. Various kinds of waste stream
have been identified. Waste was mainly divided into three categories, namely bio waste, recyclables and plastic
waste (to be dumped at landfill site).

REVIEW AND RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter signifies the related literature and studies, locally and internationally were
gathered to advocate the study. This gave important concepts and ideas for the development of
the study.

Foreign Literature

Environmental awareness is leading to a rapid transformation of waste management practices.

Interpretation of this change is necessary before examining in more detail the methods that are applied to waste
management and to the handling of residues
