Department of Environmental Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad on 24th March, 2022 organized the inaugural ceremony of the Rapid Organic Waste Stabilizer (ROWS) installed at the 48 quarter of the IIT(ISM), Dhanbad. The ROWS is a machine designed for rapid conversion of solid organic waste into a nutrient rich organic fertilizer. ROWS takes around 4 - 6 hours to convert the solid organic waste into a completely dried powder form end product rich in NPK. Around 20 - 25 kg of organic fertilizer could be produced by feeding 100 kg of the SOW.

Prof. Gupta discussed about the scenario of waste generations and limitations in the existing technology for the treatment of waste. He added that the “Swaach Bharat Mission” phase II, encourages the bulk waste generators to use mechanized composters for the treatment of the solid organic waste. He discussed about the need of the present invention, and gave a detailed outline about this technology. He said that ROWS is capable of converting the solid organic waste into a nutrient rich organic fertilizer within 4-6 hours. He ended his presentation by quoting that this technology could proof to be a milestone for the recycling of nutrients i.e., “From the Nature to the Nature”.
Prof Rajiv Shekhar: The Director in his address to the audience talked about the ways the IIT(ISM) Campus is administering towards conservation of environment such as commencing ROWS at 48 quarter for the treatment of all the solid organic waste.
