Dear Reader, With great pleasure, I wish to inform you that this new unique initiative of its kind from New Media will help you to be better informed, faster than before.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is critical to socio economic development. But the path to effective SWM is strewn with multi-dimensional challenges involving political, administrative and technological issues; hence, it is essential to adopt a broad approach in developing a framework to surmount them.

With vision to bring all this issues into focus, New Media has conducted a series of interactive workshops, bringing onto a common platform all the stakeholders and regulators across the nation over the last two years, championing the cause of effective and efficient SWM.

As pioneers in this regard, we feel it imperative to disseminate and share critical information with all the players involved in order to promote the best SWM practices adopted globally.

In pursuit of this objective and to connect government agencies, corporate entities and communities, we are launching an electronic magazine (fortnightly), the first of its kind, on effective and efficient SWM.

I am confident that you find this initiative an enriching one.

Happy Reading!
