Situation after implementation of the initiative

After 2007 you see that public aware about environment. They try to help PMC doing

dont toughing it anywhere and collecting to PMC vehicles and pay the tax at particular

time. PMC try to used modern equipment and they always repair their vehicles and

provide garbage boxes at the place of garbage point.

But the 100% garbage collection is not done by PMC because some residential colony

has open space and they used it as garbage space because they not interested to pay the

tax to the PMC.

Counterfactual Analysis

It is important to note that PMC takes some initiatives to improve allover Patna to make clean city but only it can achieve half of it. No any proper plan related to solid waste treatment. Their are no particular coordination between PMC and other working agencies. PMC always suffers from lack of fund and lack of workers. After this the garbage are not collected properly. PMC worker not separate these things they mixed all type of solid waste. There are no any proper channel for this. These are following types of solid waste.

Domestic and commercial waste recyclable

Industrial waste

Hospital/biomedical waste

E-waste

Construction debris

Highlight if the initiative has targeted and positively benefited disadvantaged groups

It is a whole-city initiative, but has positively impacted disadvantaged groups particularly

the poor;

The lack of man power

No proper disposal of solid waste

Community and NGOs partnerships now working properly

Public Private Partnerships(PPP) is not successful

Urban infrastructure is limited and is controlled by BUIDCO

The idea and management policies is good

Regulatory aspects and rules and regulations of 2000 of Patna Municipal Corporation only in files and not on floor

No proper channel for the collection of solid waste

Solid waste is being collected for the person who pay municipal taxes and NGOs fees

Use of modern technology is almost absent

ii. Sustainability

System made up by PMC is good but it is now in action

They have lots of fund but they does not convert this fund to renew their policies

They have modern technology but they are unable to use it

The garbage disposal is in dumping yard and this dumping yard is scattered in whole urban Patna

The controlled NGOs and small contractors .

iii. Specific Remarks, if any

BUIDCO should have the provision to utilize the modern technology which is not being

utilized instead of having funds. They are trying to use the modern technology very

gradually due to lack of trend in between the people. Management policy is good but they

are not able to convert it into performance.
