Turn Kitchen Waste To Compost: Amitabh Bachchan’s New Swachh Message

Segregation of waste is turning out to be a huge problem for India. Lack of awareness on dry and wet waste has led to dumping of tons of waste in landfills, which in turn is becoming a health hazards for the citizens of India

Turn Kitchen Waste To Compost Amitabh Bachchhan’s New Swachh Message

Chandigarh: Union Ministry of Urban Development has launched its new publicity campaign under the Swachh Bharat Mission aimed at encouraging people to convert kitchen waste into compost for scientific processing of municipal solid. Named as ‘Compost Banao, Compost Apnao’, the campaign has superstar Amitabh Bachchan as its brand ambassador. Stating this here today, Joint Secretary of Urban Development Ministry Praveen Prakash said that scientific processing of solid waste in all urban areas was one of the key initiatives being carried out under Swachh Bharat Mission.

The Centre has been stepping up efforts to encourage conversion of biodegradable waste into compost, for use as fertilizer, and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill sites, he said.

The new campaign is an attempt to encourage citizens to contribute towards making their city clean.

Prakash said the ministry has adopted a multimedia approach for the campaign.

To maximize the impact and reach of the messaging, the campaign comprises TV commercials, which would be aired through all leading TV channels and would be supported through print, digital cinema, radio and outdoor ad campaigns-posters, hoardings in public spaces across various cities, he said.

The campaign is produced by the ministry with the help of NFDC, he added.

The advertisement features Mr Bachchan reciting dialogues from some of his blockbuster movies while appealing to various target groups to set up decentralised composting facilities in their respective premises and using the same for converting kitchen waste into compost.

Mr Bachchan also appeals to nursery owners and horticulture agencies to pledge to use city compost in their gardens, farmhouses and public gardens.

The commercial ends with the tag line ‘Compost Banao, Compost Apnao’ by Bachchan, encouraging the citizens to adopt the practice of composting, Prakash said.

    Hello Sir,

    With due respect, i really appreciate your efforts in this area.

    Myself Sushil and i am staying in Pimple Saudagar,Pune. I was facing similar issue in my society about house and Society waste four years back.

    Then i realised about importance about the waste management in my own society. Since then, i am continuously working in this area and now i am generating manure from Green waste .

    With the help of Housekeeping staff, we are putting all green waste from house and Garden into one particular area. Then on daily basis, i put Cow Dug and water into Green waste. After One/two months, that waste turn into useful manure.

    Now my Society is capable to generate their own manure. We don’t required to buy mud from outside.

    Thanks
    Sushil

    Most of educated people understand the concept of dry and wet waste. But problem is with execution.
    Government is spending lot on advertisement about teaching the same concept peole studies in their school book. Along with it government should be telling from where we can buy economical compost making machine or make it available at some government offices.

    Good idea, bad implementation. As usual. How would I go about it? Simple…make all hotels and super markets sell chopped vegetables. So the person who buys chopped vegetable would get it at concessional rate, when compared to those who buy it without chopping. The vegetables selected would be freshly chopped. Government would offer subsidy for installing the compost converting unit at such places…i.e., hotels, and super markets. These people would end up employing people for chopping vegetables, plus ensuring that organic waste in the city is minimized. It should also be possible to order such chopped vegetables from such parties. Effectively, compost generation would be more or less centralized.

    I know in person so many people who are interested in compost making machine, however, there is no information available. It would fail the usefulness of this initiative if this information is not shared.

    Swaccha Bharat is the most basic but still neglected area. To start Be convienced to separate vegetable waste from your household. educate society members ,create manure area,collect dry vegetable waste and not cook remains,process as per norms,divide responsibility with retired and young members. Plant useful plants and use manure. Please keep seed bank dabbas to collect seeds in fruits and vegetables eaten and replant seeds.Ths will give lot of joy and happiness as you witnessbwonders of nature.
    Any help please contact.Do not depend on govt agency,take your first step today…All the best….

    It is very fancy idea, and ornamental advertisement. You can not solve the waste problem by this idea, nor achieve Swatch Bharat Mission. There are many things to do in the waste stream. Yes Awareness and Education is must.

    Dear Sir,
    I am Mujtaba Bashir from Srinagar jammu and kashmir.
    Happy for such a good step ,as per SBM guidelines it is mandatory for all the Urban and Rural Authorities to prepare a DPR for its implementation.
    This mission started from 2014 but unfortunately till date no such activity has been implemented in Jammu and Kashmir.
    As Central govt. has allotted a good amount of fund for implementation of Solid Waste Management both in Urban and Rural areas to every state .i don’t understand why jk govt has not started till date .

    ऊपर के सब लोगो की तरह मुझे भी कम्पोस्ट खत मे रुचि है लेकिन मुझे भी 1969 पर अच्छी तरह से जानकारी नही मिली अगर कम्पोस्ट खाद कैसे बनता है उसकी मशीन कैसी होती है, कितना खचाॅ आता है, क्या प्रोसिजर है? वो अगर उपलब्ध करवाएंगे तो अमिताभ बच्चन जैसे बड़े कलाकार की ये जाहीरात कुछ फायदा कर पायेगी स्वता अभियान मे

      This can be done at home only with basic things like Bins with small holes all around and you would need dry leaves or remix powder for the process

    There are so many organic waste convertors in the market like smart bin etc for household waste generation. For hotels etc they can implement / use large scale organic waste convertors like RNATURE, Greenviron OWC etc.
