Background

Noida is a bustling metropolitan with all the dynamics and complexities associated with one. As the city grows exponentially day by day, so does the amount of municipal solid waste generated. HCL Foundation has launched an initiative Clean NOIDA and intends to carry out works and services to implement effective solid waste management in Noida city. This initiative aims to transform the city into a litter and waste free region, covering all Residential Welfare Associations and urban villages. The major focus areas of the project are capacity building of relevant stakeholders, intensive behavior change campaigns, awareness drives and technological solutions.

The Project aims to tackle different components of waste management and one such aspect is also efficient Cow dung waste management and its disposal in an environment friendly manner, along with supporting the principles of environment sustainability through reduction in green houses gases (methane) that is emitted from cow-dung. Generation of Biogas through cow dung management is an effective intervention to overcome the stated challenges. It will not only ensure proper utilizing of the energy produced from biogas, but also lead to efficient disposal of cow dung waste, which otherwise is dumped improperly on road side/open space or washed away in drains.
