THE PURPOSE A CBWTF project comprehensively takes care of possible challenges that may be posed to human health and environment by biomedical waste. Since around 35% of the total biomedical waste collected is recyclable, further processing of the same will finally lead to creation of wealth out of waste. In view of the difficulties faced by private hospitals, nursing homes and clinics that could not make their own arrangements due to high cost involved in setting up treatment and disposal facilities, the need for a centralized system for treatment was felt. CPCB in its guidelines of 2016 has stated that in a coverage area where 10,000 beds are not available within a radial distance of 75 km, CBWTF in the locality (located within the respective State/ UT) may be allowed to cater the healthcare units situated up to 150 km radius. In Malda, Uttar Dinajpur and Dakshin Dinajpur districts, total number of beds is 8460, which is less than 10,000 beds. Hence, we consider our study area covering about 10,000 beds of all health care establishments of Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Part of Murshidabad and Part of Darjeeling. In order to give relief to all health care establishments in aforesaid mentioned districts, providing relief from the monopolistic atmosphere, this alternative facility will provide cost- effective, efficient and timely management of a huge quantity of biomedical waste, which is not always advisable to be handled and controlled by only one facility. Hence, RVD Waste Tech Pvt. Ltd. proposes to set up this Common Integrated Biomedical Waste Management Facility with a capacity to treat 8.4 MT/Day, covering about 28,000 beds of all health care establishments of Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Part of Murshidabad and Part of Darjeeling. 5. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION POTENTIAL The proposed activity could provide employment opportunities to the skilled and semi-skilled local populace, especially in small-scale business and other related services. During construction phase of the proposed CBWTF, the labours and workers will be hired from nearby villages, thus providing them with a source of income in their local area. Total number of persons required in operational phase is about 70. Table 4 Manpower Details No. Job Profile/Designation No. of Persons 1 Unit Head 1 2 Plant Manager 1 3 Asst.
