The course “Overview of Waste Management (MEV-051)" aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to waste management and understanding the nature and types, their sources, the effects of improper disposal, particularly environmental and health impacts. The course covers key treatment and disposal strategies, including physical, chemical, and biological methods and aims to educate learners about measures to minimize waste generation and optimum disposal. As the world focuses more on sustainability, professionals who understand waste management are increasingly needed in municipal bodies, environmental consultancies, NGOs, and private firms. The course provides insights into the key strategies and gives foundational knowledge for later courses in the programme (like social systems, entrepreneurship, project work, etc.).
