Identification Of The Problem And Need For Innovation/Work : 1.Jaisalmer is a tourist city. Earlier there was a lack of cleanliness and non effective garbage collection.

2. There were no mechanism for monitoring of waste collection vehicles.

3. There were lack of awareness among citizens regarding effective garbage collection and source segregation.

4. There were no fix timing for waste collection vehicles. So that people used to dump their domestic waste at various sites in residential area. Rotten garbage had piled up on road sides and canals and drains were clogged with bags of stinking waste from hotels and markets.

5. There were no centralized and decentralized waste treatment plants in the city. The Municipal Council used to dump waste in dumping yard at Bada Bagh near Jaisalmer.

6.   Jaisalmer is a tourist city so there are so many hotels and restaurants in the city. Market area is very congested near fort area. So there were no proper mechanism to collect waste from those premises.

7. To deal with its mounting waste problem, the city embarked on a project called “Swachh Jaisan”. This innovation is done to make city clean and for effective real time monitoring of garbage collection.

Implementation Of The Intervention : Under this project, RFID (Radio frequency Identification) cards have been installed at outer wall of total 18,000 households of the city. Smart card reader has been provided to attendant of the waste collection vehicle to scan the RFID card to assure waste collected from each household.

2. Smart App has been installed in phone’s of citizens through which notification comes on phone of the citizen before arrival of waste collection vehicles in advance in 5-10 minutes and citizen can track the location of waste collection vehicle. Citizen can check their daily/weekly/monthly waste collection history and complaints can be lodged in case of irregularity related to door to door collection.

3. Awareness and training programmes have been organized on regular basis in wards to sensitize public towards the initiative.

4.   Training programmes have been organized for Municipal staff involved in this initiative, smart card readers and waste collection vehicle drivers.

5. Under phase II, Land has been identified for Municipal solid waste processing plant at Badabagh, Jaisalmer. Work order has been issued to M/s Shri Balaji Caretaker. Work will be completed by May,2023.

6. To ensure accountability and transparency in this IoT (Internet of things) Based real time monitoring system, there is a control room in Municipal Council’s office where a system expert and supervisor track live location of garbage collection vehicles, routes covered by auto tippers, from where garbage has been collected, routes if any skipped, halt time of vehicles, etc. on web portal, If any complaints received in control room regarding garbage collection, resolved within time limit.

Citizens can monitor and can lodge their grievance on mobile app.

2. Collected waste will also be processed and disposed in scientific manner. Work order has been issued for solid waste processing plant and engineered sanitary landfill site.

At smaller scale compost is also being produced by window composting method.

3.  Yes it is sustainable, ULB may collect user charge. User charges may be collected from every household/shops/hotels/restaurants/institutions/office complexes which will help to reduce the financial burden of the municipal council Jaisalmer. NGOs and SHGs may also help.
