Guidelines for submission of proposals under the
Scheme Waste Minimisation in Small & Medium Industries (SMIs)
Objectives
The policy
statement for abatement of pollution lays emphasis on preventive aspects of
pollution abatement and promotion of technical inputs to reduce industrial
pollution. One of the simplest
preventive strategies is to minimise the waste in production of products and
goods. The main objective of waste
minimisation is to optimize the consumption of raw materials and also reduce
waste generation by adopting production techniques which are cleaner in nature
and which can be adopted by the existing units without necessarily changing the
production processes or unit operations.
The approach to the problem is towards utilising the existing production
facilities in an optimal manner. The
objective of the scheme is to assist the primary small units and some medium scale units (where
investment cost is less than Rs.5.00 crores) who do not have access to the requisite
technical expertise to achieve waste minimization but excludes procurement of
equipment and hardware. The programme
aims at not only in achieving waste reduction through optimization in one or
more units but also serve to build confidence among other industrial units in
the cluster/region to adopt similar initiatives. It has been established that by adopting
waste minimisation approach the units are able to reduce not only the
generation of wastes but also reduce their overall cost of production and thereby
operate in a more environmental friendly manner.
Components
of the Programme
2. The
activities to be undertaken include:
(i)
Identification
of the industrial sectors, which have the possibility of reducing the waste
generated within the existing operation, leading to conservation of resources.
(ii)
Identification
of clusters of small and medium scale industries and the units willing to adopt
the waste minimization approach.
(iii)
Profile
the sector/cluster/units giving information on the raw material consumption, waste
generation including the existing treatment and disposal methods.
(iv)
Feasibility
study of implementing the waste
minimisation schemes for selected sectors/clusters/units..
(v)
Demonstration
of the waste minimization in one or more units through actual
implementation of the waste minimization
options/solutions.
(vi)
Conducting
workshop/s for entrepreneurs bringing out the salient features of waste
minimisation measures that can be adopted/ replicated.
Eligibility
3. The application
for assistance under waste minimisation programme can be submitted by either
industrial entrepreneurs or consultants or industry association or similar
agency engaged in the area of waste minimisation. The assistance will be provided to develop
and establish waste minimisation approach in one or more units which can be
adopted by a cluster of small and medium enterprises that are engaged in the
production of similar products/goods. An illustrative list of potential sectors
provided in Annex-1. The consultant/entrepreneur
can also select sectors outside the illustrative list, provided they could
justify the same. However, the industry/ies
selected must belong to small and medium scale only.
Application
4. The
application should be submitted in the prescribed ‘application form’ attached
with the guidelines. The projects should
be of short duration not exceeding twelve months. The projects proposals would be examined by
the Ministry as per prescribed procedure and decision taken accordingly. The grant of assistance under waste
minimisation scheme is subject to the Ministry being satisfied with the proposal,
the qualification and experience of the applicant, the need for taking up the
proposed project and the availability of funds.
The Ministry also has the right to reject the proposals without assigning
any specific reasons. If a project is
recommended for assistance, the budget will be decided as per the norms. The funds for the project will be released in
three instalments, i.e. 40% at the time of sanctioning of the project and upon
submission of detailed profile of the selected sector and cluster, which should
inter-alia include identification of
the demonstration units and their commitment. The second instalment of another 40%
will be released on completion of the detailed field studies (compiling and
developing base line information, feasibility studies of preventing the waste,
material balance etc.). Final instalment
of 20% will be released after implementation of waste minimisation measures,
evaluation of the implementation of the project and organising a workshop for
dissemination of the information to the other units in the cluster and
submission of the final Report and submission of Utilisation
Certificate/Expenditure Statement (Audited in case of non-governmental
organisations)
Documents to be submitted
5. Applicant
should provide a curriculum vitae (not exceeding 2 pages) along with the application,
which should inter-alia include expertise in process/ operation of the industry
concerned/ waste minimisation techniques of similar industry/ association with
the waste minimisation programme. The
applicant should also be familiar with the operation in the cluster in which
the proposed waste minimisation programme is to be taken up. If the organisation is NGO or private
organisation, it will submit last three years audited statement of accounts and
registration certificate. Once the project is sanctioned the project proponent
has to submit a Bond as per the pro-forma enclosed in Annex-2. Funds will be released in installment on
submission of Utilisation Certificates and expenditure statement (audited in
case of non-government organisation) for the earlier releases as per the
pro-forma enclosed in Annex-3.
Monitoring and
evaluation
6. During the
course of implementation of the waste minimisation scheme the Ministry of
Environment and Forests may send their expert/ experts to visit the site and
monitor the programme. The experts would
evaluate the programme and give their recommendation which would inter-alia include recommendations
regarding continuation of the programme.
