National Workshop on Best Practices of MSW Management in India At PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh

National Workshop on Best Practices of MSW Management in India At PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh

Introduction

Solid waste generated by domestic, commercial & industrial activities is often indiscriminately disposed. Unscientific management of such waste leads to serious environmental problems. These problems are already acute in our cites and towns as the disposal facilities are not keeping pace with the quantum of waste being generated. It is not unusual to find heaps of garbage in disorganized manner at some locations of
our cities. As per estimates of CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board of India) only urban India is producing about 42.0 million tones of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year at present and this figure was only 6 million tones per year in 1947 i.e. seven fold increase in just 64 years of independence. Similarly Municipal
Corporation, Chandigarh is facing a lot of challenge in the management of the MSW. At present it is collecting daily 370 tones of MSW and handing it over to waste processing plant which converts it into
refused derived fuel (RDF) and dumps the rejected material in landfill at Dadumajra.

A one day workshop is being organized on the Best Practices of Management of MSW on 3rd November 2011 at PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh. The present workshop will focus attention on Best Practices of MSW Management in India and make an attempt to identify solutions for the problems arising at various levels of management of MSW with a special focus on Chandigarh.

Date & Venue

The workshop (BPMSW -2011) will be held on Nov 03, 2011 at Conference Hall, Administrative Block, PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh.

How to Reach BHU?

Varanasi is the cultural capital of India and the melting pot of Indian civilization. Varanasi or Benaras has a well-developed transport network and is well connected to all the major Indian cities and states by air, road and rail.

By Air

Varanasi is well connected and accessible to major Indian cities and tourist spots. There are daily domestic flights to and from Varanasi to several cities in India. Apart from the state owned Indian Airlines, there are many private air taxi operators that offer their services from Varanasi to other Indian cities. In fact, the daily flights on Delhi-Agra-Khajuraho-Varanasi route are quite popular among the tourists.

By Rail

Since Varanasi lies in the heartland of the North Indian plains, it is well connected to Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and other parts of India. There are two railway stations in Varanasi, the Kashi Junction and the Varanasi Junction (also known as Varanasi Cantonment). Rajdhani Express from Delhi or from Calcutta passes through Varanasi too. One can also catch trains from Mughalsarai, just 10 km south of Varanasi.

By Road

Situated in the flat Ganga plains, Varanasi has a good network of roads. frequent public and private buses and road transport to all the major towns of Uttar Pradesh and nearby areas.

4th International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM - 2013) At Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi

4th International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM - 2013) At Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi

About the ICRACM Conference

Composite materials have unique advantages over monolithic materials, such as high strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, and adaptability to the intended function of the structure. Significant achievement has been made in the design/development and applications. Considerable innovative research is still continuing for the development of continuous fibre composites and particulate composites for critical applications. Structural requirements demand ultimate and reliable composite material performance to react to global static and dynamic external and component loads.

Therefore, ICRACM-2013 aims at bringing together academicians and researchers in various disciplines to share knowledge and exchange views, for useful industrial applications of composite materials. The conference will facilitate discussion on the latest trends in the entire gamut of composite materials. The deliberations will certainly be helping researchers for embarking upon newer aspect design and development of various types of composites.

Conference Topics

The conference will broadly cover the following topics

• Polymer composites
• Wood composites
• Metal matrix composites
• Ceramic composites and advanced ceramics
• Nanomaterials and Nano-composites
• Biomaterials and Bio-composites
• Recycling & repair technology in composites
• Recent developments in fibre and particulate composites for structural and tribological applications (Fracture, Fatigue, Impact, Wear & Friction, Environmental studies)
• Critical issues in composites (Interfaces, processing applications and manufacturing)
• Testing & Quality control of composites
• Composites in intelligent and sustainable civil structure
• Application of composites in low cost houses and bridges
