Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) initiated the "Programme on Energy from Urban, Industrial, and Agricultural Wastes and Residues" under Phase-I of the National Bioenergy Programme (2021–2026). This initiative is more than just waste management; it implies a mindful transition towards a circular economy by leveraging the practice of waste converted into renewable energy sources, minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and encouraging decentralized clean energy systems.

This dense, self- organized settlement operates on a remarkable circular economy, where waste is repurposed, materials are reused, and architecture evolves in response to necessity. Despite its efficiency, formal urban systems often dismiss these practices as informal, failing to recognize their potential for scalable impact.
