<em>In India, caste and practices related to caste are inescapable in the waste-management conundrum.<br />
</em><br />
There&rsquo;s a wonderful book called Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay about England in bygone days when it was still heavily rural and agricultural labour was the life of thousands of people.<br />
<br />
The recent release of the Swachh Survekshan rankings of India&rsquo;s cleanest cities suggests someone should write a book called Ask the People Who Pick Up the Waste. (Bhasha Singh&rsquo;s Unseen, published by Penguin in 2014, comes close).<br />
<br />
For the second survey in a row, Indore in Madhya Pradesh has been declared India&rsquo;s cleanest city. It&rsquo;s easy to deride the survey and its methodology, but the fact that Indore topped the list twice suggests that Indore is doing something right. And when you look at the criteria that Indore is said to have satisfied, so many of them relate to the people who actually pick up the waste and to the hands-on practices essential for keeping towns and cities clean.<br />
<br />
No amount of technology or deployment of infrastructure is as effective as motivated people who understand why they are doing what they&rsquo;re doing.<br />
<br />
The municipal corporation of Indore has close to 10,000 employees, and in its triumphant media briefing told reporters that it had also taken on a thousand &ldquo;ragpickers&rdquo; &ndash; presumably freelance waste collectors &ndash; to segregate dry waste. The mayor claimed that she held 400 citizen meetings and that 400,000 people had taken part in &ldquo;oath of cleanliness&rdquo; ceremonies. Jingles about cleanliness played from the daily waste-collection vehicles that covered every household.<br />
<br />
The Indore story is convincing because it incorporates much of the knowledge common to people who have worked with waste for a long time. The Solid Waste Management Rules of 2016 themselves provide plenty of sound guidance.<br />
<br />
Two things, however, are usually missing from these recipes for cleaner towns and cities. Indore appears to have found one of those ingredients, though it&rsquo;s unclear whether they&rsquo;ve been prepared to tackle the other.<br />
<br />
What&rsquo;s widely known is that relentless daily collection of waste, sorted into usable categories as it is collected, makes for the most effective way to tackle household waste, whether of the poor or the better-off.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s also known that collection of waste in the past was irregular, whether provided by municipal employees or freelance waste-pickers. And it is well known that processing waste close to the source saves fuel, lessens pressure on landfills and engages householders and waste-collectors in a sense of shared enterprise.<br />

In India, caste and practices related to caste are inescapable in the waste-management conundrum.
There’s a wonderful book called Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay about England in bygone days when it was still heavily rural and agricultural labour was the life of thousands of people.
The recent release of the Swachh Survekshan rankings of India’s cleanest cities suggests someone should write a book called Ask the People Who Pick Up the Waste. (Bhasha Singh’s Unseen, published by Penguin in 2014, comes close).
For the second survey in a row, Indore in Madhya Pradesh has been declared India’s cleanest city. It’s easy to deride the survey and its methodology, but the fact that Indore topped the list twice suggests that Indore is doing something right. And when you look at the criteria that Indore is said to have satisfied, so many of them relate to the people who actually pick up the waste and to the hands-on practices essential for keeping towns and cities clean.
No amount of technology or deployment of infrastructure is as effective as motivated people who understand why they are doing what they’re doing.
The municipal corporation of Indore has close to 10,000 employees, and in its triumphant media briefing told reporters that it had also taken on a thousand “ragpickers” – presumably freelance waste collectors – to segregate dry waste. The mayor claimed that she held 400 citizen meetings and that 400,000 people had taken part in “oath of cleanliness” ceremonies. Jingles about cleanliness played from the daily waste-collection vehicles that covered every household.
The Indore story is convincing because it incorporates much of the knowledge common to people who have worked with waste for a long time. The Solid Waste Management Rules of 2016 themselves provide plenty of sound guidance.
Two things, however, are usually missing from these recipes for cleaner towns and cities. Indore appears to have found one of those ingredients, though it’s unclear whether they’ve been prepared to tackle the other.
What’s widely known is that relentless daily collection of waste, sorted into usable categories as it is collected, makes for the most effective way to tackle household waste, whether of the poor or the better-off.
It’s also known that collection of waste in the past was irregular, whether provided by municipal employees or freelance waste-pickers. And it is well known that processing waste close to the source saves fuel, lessens pressure on landfills and engages householders and waste-collectors in a sense of shared enterprise.
