IRTSA is a vibrant R&D sector for both
administration and trade union movement
- Shri.ShivGopal Mishra, GS/AIRF

9.  Sri.GanguliSri.Ganguli, the then CRB in 1970, put it
in writing while recommending to govt
for recognition of IRTSA, as a pivot to
Railway functioning.
 Sri.V.K.Agarwal,Sri.V.K.Agarwal, the then CRB, during his
4 years tenure respected IRTSA and hence
met team IRTSA for more than 43 times to
solve supervisors several issues.
 Sri. Nitish Kumar,Sri. Nitish Kumar, the then MR,
commented in front of board officers that
IRTSA leaders will not read anything in
between the lines.

10. IRTSA
presently submit its suggestions
for the successful
implementation of
SWACCHH BHARAT MISSION

11. “SWACHH BHARATH
ABINAYAN”
 Scheme launched on
02.10.2014 by respected PM
 Sea phase change on
attitude and perception of
people envisaged.
 Indian Railways
 first to set goals for
scheme’s success

12. My friends Er.K.V.Ramesh
and Er.E.Ramesh will bring
out their suggestions after the
introductory address is
completed by me.

13. Nature creates, cherishes and
finally destroy all living and non-living
organisms on routine basis.
Human beings by their attitude,
behavior and to satisfy their thirst for
their own growth poses great danger
to nature’s environmental balance.
Some data's mention herewith may
be taken as food for thought for the
audience assembled here.

14. Land, Sky, Water, Air & Fire which
are called Pancha Boothas that
protect our life
When their stability is disturbed by
any one on any account
environmental quality and balance are
disturbed.
It results in nature’s fury and the
consequence leads to endangering
our own survival.

15. We explain about water pollution
only here and their evil effects.
Water wealth in the earth comprises
97% in sea and only 3% available for
other purpose.
Out of 3%, - 68.7% remains as hard
fog, 31% remains as hard water.
Hence only 0.3% of the available
3% spread across the top tier of
earth’s surface.

16. State like Tamil Nadu, availability of
water is only 36000 million cubic
meters and out of which 24000MCM
are obtained in the form of rain fall,
remaining 12000MCM are received
from other states.
For hygienic living as per WHO
report a person requires 2000CM of
water per annum,
But in this state availability of water
is only 900CM/annum

17. Growth of industry in this
state takes place at the cost of
pollunating water resources.
We herewith refer only two
industries to explain about the
pollunating water resources
and evil effects out of it.

18. A noted Scientist from England
Mr.Dony Allan explains about “Virtual
Water” by quoting wheat cultivation.
For cultivating one ton of wheat,
1300Cm of water are drawn from top
tier of earth’s surface.
This amount of water is not
recyclable, reusable or retreatable,
they stay within the grains of the
wheat.
This type of water exploitation is
called Virtual Water.

19. Saudi Arabia in 1990’s decided to
cultivate wheat for export purpose and
earn fabulous foreign exchange.
After 15 years by 2005 they totally
discouraged wheat cultivation and its
export.
The study report in that country
revealed the fact that because of
wheat cultivation, the ground water
level of the country were drained to
the tune of 35%
Presently they import wheat and
stopped export

20. Israel is the leading country in
the export of vegetables and fruits
except oranges.
This is because orange needs
for its growth a heavy amount of
water which was draining the
ground water level.
They found gain in export is
much less than importing
oranges.

21. We look at some industries in India
which are fetching even 15000 crore
as foreign exchange.
The industry of knitted garment at
Tirupur and one more industry is at
Vaniyambadi engaged in Tanning
business
Some countries who grow large
amount of cotton does not engage in
knitted garment – Why?

22. For manufacturing 100kg of knitted
garment many harmful chemicals like
caustic soda, wetting oil, sodium
peroxide acetic acid, HCl, soda ash are
to be added with 40000liters of water
which is drawn from top tier of earth’s
surface.
After work is completed the same
amount of water are drained to near by
river called Noyyal which is totally
polluted.
Solid waste pollution exceeds
17000TDS while safe level is 500-
1500TDS mark

23. Italy is the leading country
exporting leather goods and
shoes and earn fabulous foreign
exchange.
They manufacture these items
as finished goods by using
imported tanned skin.
They don’t indulge in the
industry of tanning process of
skin – Why?

24. To tane katcha raw skin of 100kg
20 to 30 kg can only tanned and
remaining 80 to 70 kg goes as solid
waste which are untreatable non
cycleable and they are dumped in the
river Palar with pollution level of
15000TDS
Though this industry provides an
additional employment to the 3% of
people, it snatched away the
employment in agriculture sector to
the tune of 85% of people.

25. By illustrating all these examples
we need not be termed as opposing
elements for export business.
Wise countries care for the ground
water level as their prime requirement
and accordingly choose industries
which do not consume more water
and which do not pollute water quality.
It is the matter for government to
decided and experts of economy to
play a great role.

26.  Cleanliness is not just
demonstration and posing
with a broom once in a while.
 is a continuous process
 continuity depends on
effective plan and execution

27.  Cleaning leads to a green
and healthy environment
 Not a laborious process,
determination is the key to
achieve it

28.  Individuals fresh-up and
dress-up elegantly to prove
they are civilised.
 A house is cleaned on a
routine basis for the
occupants to be healthy.
 But individuals &
households will be healthy
only when their
surroundings are clean &
healthy

29. Cleanliness & Greenness
environment quality is widely
disturbed by
Increasing pollution.
Increasing urbanisation.
Industrial and vehicular
proliferation.
Pollution of water sources

30. PREVENTIVE STRATEGY
As per CPCB directive there are
two branches for up keeping the
environment standards
Preventive aspects of pollution
Inputs to reduce industrial
pollution.

31. Processes to prevent
pollution

Less effects more output
Fulfil corporate responsibility

35. RE-USE
Assess waste generation
while producing product.
Plan waste utilisation for it
to be raw material to
another product.
Use computer records for
every product for the
effective use right from
producing stage to disposal
stage..

36. RE CYCLERE CYCLE
Non-reusable waste
produced from production
are to be accessed by
continuous study team.
Think of infrastructure for
its recycling.
Initial cost in recycling
though be more , the results
of recycling results
beneficially in its
management.

37. TREATINGTREATING
Treating waste generate
in-house is need based
requirement on its overall
management
Involve scientific
treating techniques w.r.t.
Infrastructure, tools and
ways & means.

38. HAZARDOUS WASTEHAZARDOUS WASTE

and trans-boundry movement
rule-2008 provides necessary
guidelines.
They suggests various
technological assistances.
A project on a web-based
national HW information
system is available

39. AS PER CPCB REPORTAS PER CPCB REPORT
36165 industries accounts for
6.2 million tonnes of Hazardous
Waste every year of which
2.5 million mt - Land Fillable.
0.41 million mt - Incinerable.
3.08 million MT – Re-cyclable

40. E-WASTE MANEGEMENTE-WASTE MANEGEMENT
According to CPCB report, E-
Waste generation is 1.6 lakhs tons
by 2005
Expected to reach a level of 8
lakhs tons by 2012
Maharashtra tops the list of
highest % of E-waste generation.

41. E-WASTE MANEGEMENTE-WASTE MANEGEMENT
 States like TN, AP, WB,
Karnataka, Gujarat, MP, and
Punjab, accounts 70 percentage
of total E-waste generation.
 IT & Telecommunication wastes,
consumer electrical and
electronic goods, Television sets
(LED AND LCD),Refrigerator,
Washing machines, Air
Conditioners constitutes E-waste

42. EPR FOR PRODUCERS
Under Extended Produced
Responsibility (EPR),
- mandatory that producer
is responsible for life cycle of
product through take-back,
recycle, and final disposal
method.

43. CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
Scheme on Development of clean
technologies was initiated in 1994
to develop and promote such
technologies.

disposal facilities of Bio – medical
wastes are in operation in the
country
11921 captive treatment and
disposal facilities have been
developed with in some Health care
facilities (HCF S)

45. BIO MEDICAL WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Still some gap between bio – medical
wastes generated and treated exists
This needs to be filled up by creating
adequate infrastructure for treatment of
wastes in the country
All health care establishments including
all veterinary institutions generate
bio medical wastes have to obtain
authorization from the prescribed
authorities.
State pollution board is the prescribed
authority

59. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
Jawaharlal Nehru National
Solar Mission (JNNSM),
one of the eight national
mission under India’s
National action plan on climate
change is providing big
impetus to solar energy
sector

60. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
 JNNSM encourages local
manufacturers of solar
power equipment in India.
 Government is also
encouraging a certain
minimum local content in the
established solar power
technologies
Government is planning to
provide low cost financing to
those solar projects

61. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
Solar power can replace fossil
fuels in bulk cooking like canteens
hotels and even steam generation
A 10 MW solar photovoltaic
plant can generate 25 million units
in a year and will save 25000 tonnes
Of CO2 annually
SHRIDI temple has installed a
mega Solar plant which is one of the
biggest in India for supplying heat
energy for community cooking centre

62. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
We suggest that ICF and Railways
may sent their team to SHRIDI
about a mega Solar plant which is
one of the biggest in India for
supplying heat energy for
community cooking centre

63. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
As seen from solar related
advertisements, media projections and
Governments offer of Subsidies the
entire employees residing in Railway
Quarters may avail the facilities for
using solar energy.
With a mere expenditure of Rs.17000
one can have at least 150 liters of water
heated which will prevent electric
power consumed by water heaters

64. Solar water heaters remains today
a biggest hit.
At Shirdi a biggest solar plant was
installed which supplies entire
need of light energy for their
contineously occupied 2000 bed rest
houses.
It also provide heat energy for
cooking food for 20000 people a day.

65. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
We suggest that ICF and other
zonal Railways may provide such a
solar plant on the roof of every
quarters free of cost
We also suggest that employees
staying outside who may be
provided loan for installing such
solar plants which can be repaid by
employees on easy installments

66. SOLAR ENERGY IN INDIA
We come to know that BHEL has
commissioned a highly rewarded
Solar Photovoltaic business and
commissioned 15 MW of solar
power plants in various parts of
the country.
We suggest that ICF and
Railways may study and consider
possibilities of producing solar
energy in collaboration with
BHEL
