Esteemed Mr. T.Ramasami,
This is with reference to our discussion at KIIT University-UNESCO Kalinga Prize function at Bhubaneswar. I just wish to put the thought that I shared with you in writing for your reference.
PROBLEM:
"While our country is a nuclear power and developed missile system and investing in Chandrayan project;unfortunately, we are still using same age old technology for Human Waste Management in Urban areas-flush-safety tank and sewerage which is very expensive and time consuming.In decade or two nearly 40% of people would be living in urban areas and could pose a heavy financial burden on city administration"
Limitations: expensive, high water consumption, high maintenance cost and highly polluting
NEED:
To invest in R&D for developing a technology that does not require a sewerage system and consume less water, more hygienic and less expensive.
Suggestion:
Railways have recently developed a green toilet with application of Biotechnology and IIT Kanpur also working in this area. Dept of Science & Technology need to take this project in larger scale in collaboration with domestic and foreign companies.
Savings: Country could save billions of dollars by substituting sewerage network and sewerage water processing plants in urban areas.
Thanking you a lot.
Warm Regards,
Bikash Choudhury
