Aditya Ravindra Potdar to Be a Boon for India's Garbage Problem

BENGALURU: We all just think and talk of resolutions about how the city should be cleansed of garbage and so on and so forth but have never come up with a working model where all the garbage is disposed without anyone erring about it. A Class VII student has come up with a rocker of a solution that can be practically applied in Bengaluru to solve its humongous garbage crisis, according to indiatimes.com.

Aditya Ravindra Potdar, who is a student of HG Shroff High School & Junior College in Nandurbar, Maharashtra, has developed an underground garbage system as a part of his project based on the theme Science for cleanliness. His innovative method of constantly clearing garbage ensure that streets as well as homes are garbage-free, it also ensures that garbage is segregated on-the-go and round-the-clock without corporation staff getting involved in the process.

According to Aditya’s plan, a conveyor belt will be installed in front of a row of residential houses or apartment blocks, so people can come out of their houses and discard the garbage in roadside openings. After the garbage lands on the belt, it will be transferred to a common composting unit situated at the end of the road. Then a blower is attached in the system to blow the dry waste into another opening, right before the garbage enters the composting unit.

His plan also consists of road cleaning vehicles meant to push all residual waste from the roads and footpaths into the openings.
