Kerala's Haritha Karma Sena Model of Waste Management: A Critical Analysis Through the Lens of Sustainability
Abstract
Urbanization had a glacial pace in India for a good period of time. It became active only in the 21st century. However, compared to national average, Kerala's percentage of urban population was very high during the 1980-1990s. But along with urbanization, Kerala also faces many challenges like environmental degradation caused mainly through unsystematic waste management system. With the support of the Clean India Mission and in response to the Supreme Court verdicts, Kerala initiated the Suchitva Mission and Haritha Keralam Mission with the tagline of ‘Clean Kerala' by effectively managing the waste. This mission functioned with the field work of Haritha Karma Sena (Green Task Force), mostly employed by uneducated women. They have provided awareness among the public and systematically managed waste with their committed work. However, it also has many drawbacks and failures with regard to its implementation. In line of above, this chapter tries to critically analyze the Haritha Karma Sena model of waste management in order to examine whether it is a suitable model of waste management.
