Discard Studies in India: A Case of Patna

About The Book: This book is part of the labour of our love with transdisciplinary scholarship, desire for social justice, especially for people, practices, products, and episteme(s) beyond confines. Our discard is the subject of comprehension and delineation in this book. Discard studies calls for social inclusion and intersectional perspectives. The rubric of discard studies may be new to India but only from a renewed standpoint. We have taken a step to funnel the voluminous work and situate our teamwork on issues of waste production and waste management in a specific context, Patna, where community approach and governance needs to pay attention with accountability for minimum discard. We need to practice responsible consumption for sustainability of our people and our planet.
