The effect of training on the improvement of knowledge on total solid waste management was assessed through questionnaires before and after the conduction of the training program. Pre- and post-knowledge questionnaires were filled by all the stakeholders. After the training program, participants were taken for site visit to the compost pit of SIES Nerul Campus. They were explained about the importance of waste segregation at source. Locations of dustbins in the entire campus was also shown to them with detailed explanation of dry and wet waste.

Pre- and post-knowledge questionnaires were validated to identify the missing data and then coded for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Out of the total registrations, 14 questionnaires (in English) were selected from teaching staff and 26 questionnaires (in Marathi) were selected from non-teaching staff for analysis and validation of questionnaires. Knowledge assessment of respondents on Total Solid Waste Management of SIES Nerul Campus was performed and improvement in knowledge level was observed with the training programme.

To assess knowledge on hierarchy of three R’s it was observed that only 28.4% of the people were aware about the correct hierarchy of R’s (Reduce, reuse, recycle) for solid waste management. After the training program 64% of the people became aware about the correct hierarchy of three R’s. About 93% of the respondents became aware about E-waste after the training program. Significant difference in the knowledge was observed before and after the training program about the segregation of dry and wet waste. Segregation of waste at source was given emphasis during the training program. After the training program, respondent could segregate dry waste and wet waste from the given list.
