Activities like undertaking evaluations, conceptualising new and innovative projects, implementing pilot projects, designing capacity building programmes, undertaking training programmes for all stakeholders, facilitating exchange of ideas between developed and developing countries, providing feedbacks to the Government on its schemes and programmes, creating new policies etc., are the areas IIWM works. IIWM, through its relentless functioning for the past seven years, has earned the credential of supporting the Government of India in achieving its developmental goals with respect to sustainable development with a special focus on waste management and has been working with several line ministries. The institute currently is affiliated and/or supported by the Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO), Ministry of Science and Technology, The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and is supported by several State Pollution Control Boards.
