Waste management is an important aspect of environmental management and conservation. It is advisable to take up a programme in some area of environmental sciences or management, or even a course in sustainable development that covers issues concerning environmental conservation and management. There are several institutes that cover such programmes including the MBA in environmental management, offered by Bharathidasan University, which teaches principles of environmental management as well as waste management and industrial ecology. The Indian Institute of Environment Management (SIES) at Navi Mumbai also offers a course in environment sciences. The University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, offers a diploma in environmental studies and environmental management, while the National Institute of Environment, Lucknow, offers postgraduate diploma in industrial pollution management, environment management and environmental consultancy which includes aspects of waste management. With a degree in science, you may consider several MSc programmes in environment sciences, which include subjects related to waste management, including hospital waste, bio-medical waste, industrial waste, etc. The School of Environment Management at Delhi’s GGS Indraprastha University recently started a two-year Master’s programme in environment management, which aims to equip environmental managers with a comprehensive understanding of key relevant issues, and lays emphasis on the efficient management of natural resources for sustainable development. It’s open to students with science/engineering background, and selection is through a national-level common entrance test. TERI University also offers several postgraduate programmes in environmental studies; natural and water resources management. The MA in sustainable development practice is a more holistic programme covering sustainable development, climate change and ecosystem vulnerability and so on. Usha Albuquerque
