This workshop is a cooperative partnership between the Vivekanand Education Society Institute of Management Studies and Research in India and the University of Kassel in Germany. This first workshop is scheduled on March 26, 2018 in Mumbai. The second workshop is scheduled on April 27, 2018 in Kassel. Both workshops are supported by German Research Foundation (DFG) and aim to seed a larger research initiative. 

The core theme of the workshop in Mumbai is to point out Future Aspects for Solid Waste Management in India. We would like to followthe Clean India initiative "Swachh Bharat Mission” undertaken by the Government of India in 2014, from which we would like to learn and continue.

The format is an open panel discussion to define focal points of interest and generate further targeted research projects.

This workshop brings together scholars, practitioners and experts from different disciplines and research areas to analyze and illuminate various aspects of business models arising from the solid waste management challenge in India. The workshop provides an opportunity for exchanging knowledge of all participants and opens up the possibility to discuss the topic interdisciplinary with our partners and research team. Aim of the workshop in Mumbai is to reveal both, research gaps and presenting the situation of waste in Mumbai and deriving improvement opportunities and preparing business models for the 2 Workshop.

The two workshops reflect vast valuable contributions of the current situation and provide diverse possibilities to waste management in India.

For improving the welfare of India and to drive a proper waste management, we have to work together as a cooperative partnership from different disciplines. Joining forces can increase the flow of inform, sensitize, mobilize and to work with the aim of the workshop purposefully. Jointly we will reach new pathways of waste management in India for the welfare of our environment and descendants.
