The generation of solid waste at a very large scale has been a key issue in various countries of the world. Managing municipal solid waste is a daunting and uphill task in various cities all over the world. Inadequate management of solid waste in India poses serious consequences to the environment as well as to human health. For municipal authorities of various Indian cities, solid waste management is a complex challenge to tackle due to the increasing pressure of the population and different development perspectives. This uphill task of managing solid waste has influenced the Ludhiana city of Punjab. To investigate the current scenario and to carry out the implementation analysis of solid waste management in the city, the present study was undertaken. This study investigates the situation of waste management of the city and concentrates on identifying the causes of rising challenges from the perspective of various stakeholders involved in the waste management of the city. Despite the implementation of various solid waste management programs by the municipal corporation Ludhiana, most of these have been unsuccessful. This study focuses on analysing the factors that are responsible for hindering successful policy implementation of solid waste management in the city. For research purposes, a mixed methodology of quantitative and qualitative analysis was adopted. This research found out various financial, human resources, political and logistical constraints affecting the successful implementation of the solid waste management program in the city. At the implementation stage of solid waste management administrative constraints such as lack of modern technology and equipment, insufficient land for dumping and disposal, and lack of integrated solid waste management program play a great role in being hindrances to the successful implementation. Based on the implementation analysis, the study proposes various policy recommendations to work out the challenges faced in the successful implementation of solid waste management in the city.
