The Indian government recently proposed new waste management rules that aimed to significantly improve garbage disposal practices across the country. Do the new rules have the potential to drastically change waste management practices across India?
This panel critically examined regulations from the standpoint of how they are being applied nationwide. Are they only sound in theory? They looked at how these policies can be successfully used locally, how to increase their effectiveness, and what obstacles stand in the way of their uptake.
