Karad Sets a Benchmark in Sanitary Waste Management
The Statesman Kolkata
|April 17, 2025
Karad, a small city in Maharashtra's Satara district, has emerged as a role model in tackling sanitary waste management, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs said on Wednesday.
With 100 per cent segregation, collection, and processing of sanitary and biomedical waste, Karad has set a benchmark for effective and sustainable waste management. Ensuring the proper disposal of sanitary waste—such as sanitary napkins, diapers, and other hygiene products—has helped prevent health risks, environmental harm, and social stigma in the city.
In Karad, about 300 to 350 kg of sanitary waste is collected daily from hospitals, clinics, households, and other facilities. One of the key steps taken by the administration was to break the taboo surrounding sanitary waste. This involved raising awareness and educating the community about the importance of proper sanitary waste management and the potential health risks associated with improper disposal.

The American century coined by Henry Luce in 1941 is ebbing. The unipolar world that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union has ended. Xi’s reference to the Thucydides trap is a call to the US to re-adjust itself to a world where bipolarity will be the order. Putin’s rush to Beijing is to seek a guarantee that the new polarity does not shake up the close relationship between Russia and China
