Respected Modiji, India generates nearly 160,000 tonnes of waste daily, with most ending in overflowing landfills that cause methane, fires, and pollution. I wish to propose a National Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Mission that can clean our cities while adding renewable power. By setting up WtE plants in 5,020 cities, phased as metros (50 MW), large cities (15 MW), medium (10 MW), and small towns (5 MW), we can create ~25,550 MW capacity. This will generate 180–200 TWh annually, produce ₹1.2 lakh crore in revenue, and create 3–4 lakh jobs. The investment (~₹8–17 lakh crore) can be funded through PPP, tipping fees, green bonds, and carbon credits. This mission will directly support Swachh Bharat 2.0, strengthen energy security, and advance Net Zero 2070. I request your kind consideration to launch this program under PMO leadership. Respectfully, Chaitanya Chauhan

These draft standards, currently open for public comment, mandate features like Braille, tactile indicators, and clear labeling.
