Abstract

This article focuses on the waste management system of Shimla Municipal Corporation. It describes the Solid Waste Management practices of the hill state capital corporation through a flow chart. The broad idea of the City Sanitation Plan of SMC is also mentioned in the article. The National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP) of the Ministry of Urban Development was initiated in the year 2008. The plan was to sanitise the cities, make the cities clean and make the cities liveable. After 6 years of its roll out, more than 150 cities had planned their City Sanitation Plans. Shimla was one such city that is mentioned in the article. The triad of the roll out of SBM was the 4 Ps. These are policy, panchayat, people and participation. The NUSP was framed in the first step. The panchayats were actively involved in the second step. It was made a people’s movement as the third step. Covering all these components, the participation became the periphery of the entire circle. The waste management in hill areas is more crucial than the plains. Repeated efforts in the hill areas on managing the waste is needed since tourism is a big contributor to the economy of the hill states.
