The technology used by SIPMIU in municipal solid waste processing plant in Tuirial is
A)
Anaerobic composting under controlled condition
B)
Accelerated anaerobic composting under controlled condition
C)
Aerobic composting under controlled condition
D)
Accelerated aerobic composting under controlled condition
The State Project Management Unit (SPMU/SIPMIU) in Mizoram, under the Swachh Bharat Mission and urban development initiatives, implemented a municipal solid waste processing plant in Tuirial. The specific technology adopted for this plant is 'Accelerated Aerobic Composting under controlled conditions'.
1. Aerobic Composting: This process requires oxygen to break down organic matter using aerobic microorganisms, which is the standard for efficient composting to avoid foul odors associated with anaerobic processes.
2. Accelerated: The 'accelerated' aspect refers to the use of specific techniques (such as turning, aeration, or microbial inoculants) to speed up the decomposition process compared to traditional passive composting.
3. Controlled Condition: This ensures that parameters like moisture, temperature, and aeration are managed to optimize the quality of the resulting compost.
Options (a) and (b) are incorrect because anaerobic processes (without oxygen) are typically used for biogas production (methanogenesis) rather than standard composting, and they produce different by-products. Option (c) is partially correct but lacks the 'accelerated' specification used in the technical documentation for the Tuirial plant.

- Option (a) is incorrect because traditional Mizo society was primarily oral before the introduction of the Roman script by missionaries; there was no designated 'village writer'.
- Option (b) refers to a role related to agricultural planning (Jhum), which was typically handled by the Chief and the village elders/council (Upas).
- Option (c) refers to the blacksmith, who in Mizo is known as 'Siamtu' or specifically 'Thlahtu' depending on the tool, but not 'Khawchhiar'.
