Strategic Action Plan - International Environmental Technology Centre

Strategic Action Plan Report
and ISWM Action Plan should provide a good basis for PMC to make requisite proposals to
such institutions. These proposals if approved could supplement PMC on the budget for the
operationalization of the ISWM Action Plan. Apart from financial considerations, a partnership
with the international agencies can help PMC in improving technical and managerial capability of
the ISWM Cell and that of the Health Department.
• Prepare projects from the Schemes developed under ISWM Action Plan for possible funding at
the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNURM). Many of the infrastructure oriented
schemes developed in the ISWM Action Plan could be posed for financing under the JNRUM.
Keeping this in mind, the Schemes are designed to generate relevant Detailed Project Reports
(DPRs). PMC may follow up by customizing the DPRs to the JNURM requirements and seek
Central Assistance.
The ISWM action plan in the form of 31schemes, proposes several options for improvising the overall
efficiency of Pune’s waste management system. The schemes proposed are estimated to cost Rs. 83.2
Million over a period of 5 years. Looking at the annual budget as well as the annual average expenses
carried out on SWM, the budget for implementation of schemes is within 5% of the annual revenues.
The benefits of ISWM plan however, in terms of increase in efficiencies, generation of employment, value
addition of products through recycling have not been estimated. In addition revenues from the sale of
carbon credits will be possible by deploying CDM related schemes.
Even at 20% efficiency gain, the reduction in costs of SWM operation alone (i.e. disregarding economic
benefits through other waste streams) would amount to Rs 60-70 Million over a period of five years. Thus
the implementation of ISWM action plan should provide economic advantage to PMC in addition to
environmental improvement, social upliftment and stimulating business in waste sector.
