| When the Mission embarked upon the task of delineating scope of the NG work, it appeared never-ending and we were able to come out with an illustrative list only. The strategy included: |
|
|
 |
Management of waste- related to solid waste disposal, sanitation, hospitals, industries, biomedical waste, transportation, and landfill sites, etc. |
|
|
|
Regulate everyday waste- generated in marketplaces, Fairs, temples, railway stations, homes, airports, hotels, motels, schools, shopping malls, farmyards, cattle waste, etc. |
|
|
|
Protect– Heritage buildings’, soil, greenery, biodiversity, water bodies, etc. |
|
|
|
Build capacities and generate awareness of– environment, best practices, law, health and hygiene issues, etc. |
|
|
|
Involve– Senior citizens, women’s groups, students, institutions, NGO’s, Media, government departments, employees, etc. |
|
|
|
Implement through –championing innovations, practices that have worked, recycling, adoption of cleaner technologies (carbon trading), incentives in terms of cash awards, levy administrative charges, issue consonant guidelines by departments, etc. |
|
|
|
Special focus is on peoples’ participation and setting up sustainable systems. The Sanitation of slums and tourist sites also figures prominently in the priorities. |
|
|
| The scope of NG operations slowly unfolded to a convergence of all cleanliness, environmental and public health activities in twenty five departments of the government. Tremendous details on every aspect of the execution have gone into making the Nirmal Gujarat, from strategic planning, defining the roles of twenty five different departments, setting a three year normative goals, implementing, systematizing, monitoring and reporting to the highest levels. NG is unique and holistic by way of its innovation in converging intersectoral activities of cleanliness, environmental and public health issues and covering its activities in the urban, rural and tribal areas under one umbrella. |
