Abstract

Bangalore is one of the fastest growing cities of the world. Presently, it has a population of about 60 lakhs living in 225 sq. km area. Unilateral migration of population into Bangalore in pursuit of higher education and employment makes it one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It has been estimated by Bangalore City Corporation (BCC), that on an average, 2220 tonnes of solid waste is generated from the city of Bangalore on a daily basis as reported by New Indian Express daily dated 13th April, 2001. To keep pace with the increase in population and provide civic amenities to keep the city clean, BCC has 100 administrative work stations (wards) and 131 health wards.
