DISTRICT ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN FOR RANCHI DISTRICT JHARKHAND PREPARED BY DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION-RANCHI Foreword As per the order passed on 26.09.2019 in O.A. No. 360/218 by the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, regarding the essence of having a District Environment Plan (DEP) and its operation by the District Environment Committee, a District Environment Plan has been formulated for Ranchi, the state Capital of Jharkhand. The importance of waste management and disposal has been increasingly recognized during the past two decades. It is now generally accepted that economic development strategies must be compatible with environmental goals. This requires the incorporation of environmental dimensions into the process of development and with the circular economy gaining acceptance and more importantly a strategy for sustainable development, waste management strategies can be aligned to reduce environmental degradation. It is important to make choices and decisions that will eventually promote sound development by understanding the environment functions. The proposed plan has been prepared as per the framework give by the Central Pollution Control Board and also by the state pollution control board. The plan has been prepared across the 7 thematic areas and 64 action areas as mentioned in the format given by CPCB. Ranchi has been one of the most populated cities in Jharkhand and houses most of the government departments and other institutions. It generates huge volume of waste of all kinds. Though district administration and its organs has been actively involved in the management of waste but this proposed plan is an effort to put practices in writing so that it can be referred back for designing strategy to combat the waste management in a circular economy model. Administration has been accepting the principle of waste management of projects at the planning stage and hence environmental management plans has been mandatory for making any project operational. The challenge was to provide the appropriate tools to undertake waste management plan. The proposed plan will help in different institutions making arrangement for the safe and scientific disposal of the waste generated out of the activities under taken by communities. This plan will help in developing systems for the safe and scientific disposal of the waste from the seven thematic areas. The plan is the result of the collaborative efforts from main line departments and different institutions under district administration. We would like to thank very one involved in the process of preparing the District Environment Plan and we believe with the joint and collaborative efforts we will be able to make a cleaner, safer and environmentally sound Ranchi.
