Abstract

India is an agriculture centered economical system, with about 70% of rural households still relying on agriculture as their primary income medium. About the fact that agro-waste is considered a non-product by-product of manufacturing, wastes can be useful and valuable to society if properly processed. To dispose of agricultural waste, they began burning it and digesting it anaerobically on the ground, resulting in air pollution and the emission of noxious and greenhouse gases. Chemical fertilizer is not only costly, but it also accumulates in vegetation, seeds, and undergoes bio-magnification, resulting in health problems. Agricultural wastes can be used to produce electricity, biofuel, bio-fertilizer, manure, biogas, and paper, among other things. The best substitute for reducing global environmental problems caused by waste dumping is sustainable resource usage. This study looked at the use of vermicomposting to treat farm waste. It also looked at the present stage of waste administration of India, its impact on municipal health and the atmosphere, and the projections for improving municipal solid waste disposal in the country
