India Can Save $ 32.6 Billion Every Year By Adopting Sanitation
India can save $ 32.6 billion every year by adopting the right sanitation methods. In India, 15,000 tons of waste is released every day, out of which only 36 percent is disposed of. We are somewhere behind such a large number of garbage coming out and not being disposed off.
Except for our years-old successful method, we have taken the other way to look at other countries, the result of which we are seeing today as mountains of garbage. Another reason is that we did not change our habits.
First west was behind
Two books written to keep themselves healthy reveal the mindset of countries regarding cleanliness and cleanliness. The book ‘Clean: A History of Personal Hygiene and Purity’ by Virginia Smith and ‘The Dirt on Clean: An Unsanitized History’ by Catherine Ashenberg state that baths were considered a curse in the West between the 16th and 19th centuries . The doctor used to explain the reason for getting sick and diseases.
European thinking
The meaning of cleanliness in Europe is different. Even today in France, people remain obsessed with bathing. That is why the perfume industry is believed to have developed rapidly in the countries of Europe. People considered it easier to sprinkle fragrant things like perfume instead of bathing.
Passion of japan
Japan’s craze for cleanliness is well known. If you go to a restaurant here, then you are given special dress and slippers to wear inside.
Big market
According to research, there is ample scope for a large hygiene market in India. By 2020, the market could be worth $ 152 billion. Of this, $ 67 billion (64 percent) will be for infrastructure, $ 54 billion (36 percent) for operation and maintenance services.
The annual growth of the cleanliness market is expected to be $ 15.1 billion in 2020. India can save $ 32.6 billion every year by adopting the right sanitation methods.
Serious consequences
People die due to insufficient sanitation and hygiene. Diseases occur. The environment is polluted. People’s welfare is impaired. All of these results are well known, but the economic impact of poor sanitation has not yet been properly assessed.
Clean Water
According to World Bank research, if the right methods of hygiene and sanitation are adopted, the overall impact on health can be reduced by up to 45 percent, while water, people’s welfare and tourism losses can be avoided.
1321 per capita profit
India can save $ 32.6 billion every year by adopting the right methods of cleanliness. This amount is equal to 3.9 percent of the country’s GDP in 2006. With this a profit of Rs 1321 per person can be ensured.
Solid Waste Management Rules-2016
In April 2016, the law was enacted in place of the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 after 16 years. Under the new rules, the scope of waste management was also extended beyond the municipal corporations.
These rules are now based on urban agglomerations, census towns, notified industrial townships, areas controlled by Indian Railways, airports, airbases, ports, defense establishments, special economic zones, organizations of central and state governments, pilgrimage sites and religious and historical significance.
A Central Monitoring Committee was also constituted under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for overall monitoring of these rules.
A bath
The bath has a special mention in our mythological texts. Washing hands, bathing, etc. before any task is not only religious belief, but there is also a legal scientific understanding behind them. Who knows better than us the art of washing hands before meals.
The concept of getting caught
Others are prevented from using it after the mouth is used. The British probably never took this concept seriously, then they did not invent any English word for it.
Heavy mess on life
According to the World Health Organization, a very small amount of dirt can also cause an epidemic. One gram of feces may contain one crore viruses, one million bacteria, a thousand parasites and a hundred parasites.
