Aditya Ravindra Potdar, a 12-year-old student from HG Shroff High School & Junior College in Nandurbar, Maharashtra has a come up with an idea to tackle the garbage problems nearly every city in India faces, reports India Today. In a science competition,'Science for Cleanliness,'Potdar suggested developing a smart underground garbage system, that ensures constant clear streets that is also well segregated before reaching the compost unit. The arrangements will include an underground conveyor belt that will carry garbage from residential areas to the nearest compost units. But how exactly is it supposed to work? A conveyor belt will be installed in front of residential area. Hence when people can come out of their houses they can discard the garbage in the roadside openings.

The Nandurbar municipal council has approved the plan, but while it has shown no interest in implementing it, has reportedly said such a system is important for metropolitan cities. Additionally, Western Railways’ authorities have called it innovative and useful for flat systems in cities.

They have recommended that the idea should be implemented on station platforms as well, the Bangalore Mirror reported.
