After getting lauds for Gujarat model which has become a benchmark for development, Gujarat is planning to launch new pilot project across the State which will generate power and fertilizer from solid waste.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced that the State Government will run a pilot project to set up solid waste management plants in nearly 50 cities of the State.
Modi was addressing Vibrant Gujarat’s National Summit on ‘Inclusive Urban Development’ on Thursday.
He said, ‘these waste management plants will generate power, fertilizer and reusable water which will be provided to rural areas for usage in agriculture.’
“This is a part of a two-way strategy in which both urban as well as rural areas gain,” Modi said.
He said, “This will also stem the flow of migrants into urban areas as these steps will result in the long term development of rural areas.”
Criticising the Congress ruled Central Government, Modi said that he had suggested the same plan to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, but he never took it seriously.
Modi further said that the country should give up pessimistic mindset and look at urbanisation as an opportunity.
He said the waste management plants will be erected out of a ‘PPPP’ (people public private partnership)
