Strategic Action Plan - International Environmental Technology Centre

INTRODUCING AWARD SCHEMES
Target:
‣ To introduce annual/biannual awards for the administrative wards in the
city of Pune to encourage better solid waste management.
Lead Agency: PMC
Support Agency: Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Maratha
Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), NGOs,
generators and housing societies.
Location (Suggested): PMC office or the Environmental Awareness
C
Description: Awards schemes can be designed to assess environmental
performance of EACs, CSCs, Schools (participating in the Schools
Initiative), NGOs, and Wards etc. For implementation of this scheme the
lead agency has to have the performance indicators for the awards. These
performance indicators need to be communicated properly to the
participating organizations. The information of the same can be given
through ISWM cell and website.
The PMC has an important role to play for the success of the scheme. The
schemes should be crafted in terms of win-win situation for industries and
PMC. The sponsorship for the awards should be given from technology
providers and interested stakeholders e.g. Decentralized technology
providers should present awards for wards with maximum decentralized
treatment. PMC should in such cases help in providing facilities to the
technology provider for setting up plants in that area Thus a symbiotic cooperation
between the PMC, industry and public should be nurtured
through award schemes.
Budget: Rs 0.5 Million
Timeframe (Estimated): 15 months
