Executive Summary

This research study aimed to assess the environmental baseline of urban orphanages in
Bangalore to identify the energy, water and waste technologies currently being employed in
these institutions and also evaluate the potential technologies that maybe incorporated for
significant environmental advancements.
A sample size of 12 orphanages was selected out of 34 orphanages based on the willingness
and availability of the destitute homes/orphanages to share the data. ENSYDE evaluated the
current energy, water and waste consumption/management practices to suggest
recommendations.
Nearly all of them are dependent on LPG for cooking and have high aggregate of organic
waste. Most of them use classic fluorescent tubes, although introducing LEDs is an attractive
option owing to its durability and low energy consumption. For fuel consumption, PNG
seems to be the best option, financially, but needs to be further developed for localization.
The organic waste can be managed by installing a small-scale biogas unit and pit
composting.

Background

In Karnataka, orphanage homes are majorly categorised into three broad categories –
Destitute cottages, children homes and fit institutions.
The scheme for care and maintenance of destitute children is a district sector programme
constituting 274 cottages run by 183 Non-government Organization in 28 district with each
cottage sheltering 25 children each with the intention of bringing them to the mainstream
of the society by providing shelter, food, clothing, medical facility and education to orphan
and destitute children in these cottages. A maintenance cost of Rs. 1000/month per child (as
of 2016) is paid to these cottages by the Catalyst Management Services Pt. Ltd. through
Karnataka Evaluation Authority.
Children Homes are set up as per Section 30 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of
Children) Act, 2000, and aims at providing shelter during inquiry process, also long term
rehabilitation for orphan, destitute children in need of care and protection brought before
Child Welfare Committees. There are 56 children homes in the state, out of which 28 are for
3

boys, 27 for girls and 1 home for children below age of 6 years (both boys and girls). By the
end of March 2016, 1390 boys and 1235 girls were admitted in these homes.
FIT Institutions are voluntary organisations, recognized by a provision under the Juvenile
Justice Act (2000), who provide care, protection and rehabilitation services to orphans and
destitute children. As of 2015, there are 43 voluntary organizations recognized as FIT
Institutions of which 11 are getting financial aid from the government. By the end of March
2016, 80 boys and 150 girls have been provided shelter in these institutions.
Study Objective
The study aimed to evaluate the environmental baseline of urban orphanages in Bangalore,
i.e., to identify the energy, water and waste management practices currently being
employed in a sample of orphanages in and around Bangalore City, India. Based on the
findings, we further evaluate the potential intervening clean technologies to be
incorporated to reduce the the environmental impact, increase efficiency and reduce
financial burden to these orphanages arising from inefficient energy, water and waste
management practices.
Scope
As the scope of the study is to carry out an environmental baseline assessment of
orphanages in Bangalore Urban District, we have further detailed the geographical and
environmental scope are further described below.
4

Geographical Scope
The study has been undertaken in orphanages in Bangalore Urban District (as per the
Annual Report 2015-2016, Department of Women and Child Development). In the
Bangalore Urban District there are 34 orphanages (destitute cottages and fit institutions) of
which 22 are active and 12 of them participated in the study. The institutions for which the
baseline data was obtained are listed in Table 1.

Environmental Scope
The environmental parameters that have been considered in this study are:
1. Energy - Data related to various consumption points was listed and specific data
collected for each orphanage. The consumption points included energy consumed
from cooking, lighting and transportation. Data points included:
• Type and amount of fuel used for cooking
• Duration of fuel used
• Number and types of point lighting sources and water pumping motors
• Transport vehicle owned by the orphanage and fuel used for the transport
2. Water – This parameter was assessed for:
• The quantity of water used daily
• Source and supply
• End use
• Water treatment and recycling methods employed
3. Waste – Under this parameter, we assessed the
• Type of waste generated
• Quantity of waste generated
• Segregation of waste and waste disposal method opted by the orphanages
Methodology of Assessment

6

According to the Director of the Department of Woman and Children Welfare, there are no
guidelines on providing any special subsidy on fuel, water and electricity unique to destitute
cottages. Furthermore, there are no guidelines to help manage the waste for the same.
Each orphanage was visited on-site and the person in-charge was interviewed. The format
for the interview was a survey in the form of a questionnaire (Annexure 1) specifically
designed to extract information on energy consumption, water usage and waste
management practices of the orphanage.
Baseline Assessment
The strength of the orphanages were relatively small, ranging from 16 children in
Abilashrayama Trust to 240 children in St. Mary’s Orphanage. The average age group of the
children ranged from 0 – 18 years. In addition, in all the orphanages food was prepared in
residence.
I. Energy – Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the found to be most sought out fuel in
orphanage kitchens for cooking, although a few of them have firewood as a
secondary (emergency) source of fuel. The kitchens are small and all of them use gas
stoves to cook with the exception of St. Mary’s Orphanage which used a smoke-
proof Pyro Oven (capacity of 250 to 300 children).
Of the orphanages surveyed, 50% have solar water heaters for the purpose of
bathing and sometimes washing in winter.

The other energy consuming points are the electricity for lighting, water pumps and water
treatment facility (non-existent). The secondary consumption arises in the form of fuel
required for transportation where transport exists. Barring Abalashrama and Seva Sadan, all
the other institution prominently use tubelights or CFL bulbs. Table 3 shows the data for
electrical energy consuming points.

II. Water – The average water consumption ranges from 500 L/day to 2000 L/day in the
orphanages that were surveyed. The chief supplier of water is BWSSB but some of
them use borewell water more than BWSSB water. The end uses of water were
determined to be for cooking, washing, bathing, sanitation and in some cases even
gardening.
9

In the case of Swanthana Orphanage, there is no proper water supply nor a borewell
and the water is supplied through contractual purchase of water tankers (4 kL) every
day. Not only is this expensive but also disrupts normal usage due to unreliability of
water supply.
When it comes to water treatment, none of the orphanages have any treatment
system/facility to deal with waste water. There are however recycling and rainwater
harvesting systems in some of the orphanages. Swanthana recycles used water for
gardening and has recently installed a rainwater harvester which is yet to be
operationalized.
Similarly, the organizations Abalashrama, Seva Sadan and Nirmala Shishu Bhavan
have installed rainwater harvesting systems. It should also be noted that all the
orphanages have R.O. purification systems for drinking water, a technology that
wastes over 50% of the water that is being purified.
III. Solid Waste – The solid waste generated by these institutions mainly consists of
organic waste from kitchen and small amounts of paper. The organizations are
sensitive enough to segregate the waste into solid, dry and wet waste. The organic
waste constitutes of vegetable peels, shells, wasted food, spillages etc. ranging from
2 kg to 25 kg per day.
Abalashrama in particular have paper recycling program which involves reusing the
papers for making paper bags & envelopes then selling it, as a source of income.
10

Sevashrama in particular uses paper as a fuel with conjunction with firewood. Also
the institution produces high amounts of cow dung, up to 10 kg of it and faces
unfamiliar situation with it and has no immediate solution to reuse or recycle it.
Analysis of Potential Interventions

In this section we will evaluate technology options for remedial, efficiency and
environmental benefits. All options evaluated keep in mind low cost of replacement and or
alternatives.
Energy
Looking beyond LPG
Over the past few decades there is a surge in the number of domestic LPG in the country
and also the subsidy outlay associated with it, has increased at an unprecedented rate. LPG
fares high on cooking convenience, technology resilience and a significantly lower impact on
health due to complete combustion resulting less emission of gases compared to other
fuels. However, it has major drawbacks on the economic and assurance front, given the fact
that it is a non-renewable fuel, alternatives need to be considered. In addition, India
depends heavily on importing LPG, which has a direct bearing on the energy security of the
country.
To promote clean, affordable and sustainable cooking energy for all, there is a need to look
beyond LPG. The lack of alternatives and a near-total dependence on LPG would lead to
unforeseen consequences on energy security via locking onto a single technology.
Based on the type of cooktops available in market, the following were compared
11

i. Gas: This type of cooktop has a burner on top and uses gas (LPG or PNG) to burn a
flame that is used to cook food.
ii. Electric: This type of cooktop has a metallic coil that when passed a current through
it, heats up due to resistance. This uses electricity to generate heat.
iii. Induction: It uses electricity to utilise the magnetic property of steel to directly heat
the vessel in contact thus drastically reducing possibility of injury.
Fig 1. Efficiency of various cook-tops through some boiling water test

(Source – US: Department of Energy)

The efficiency mentioned in the above bar chart is based on the heat transferred to the pan
on top of it. Also the efficiency depends on the ratio of flame: heating surface of the pan
used. Also the above numbers are based on an ideal setup.
12

Let us compare the three sources through an example of boiling 10 litres of water (at 25ºC),
because it is imperative to factor in the cost of various sources.
Hence the energy required for boiling 10 litres of water at 25ºC
= 10000L x 4.2 KJ x 75 = 3150000 Joules

Table 3 shows that even though the efficiency of the induction source is more than double
that of LPG/PNG, the cost of using it may not be proportional. From this we can see that a
13

subsidized LPG is still better than its electrical counterpart. But since there is no subsidy
provided by the Department of Women and Children Welfare towards the orphanages, the
other alternative sources seem more attractive.
Of all the energy sources, Piped Natural Gas (PNG), seems to be the cheapest of all
compared to cost per unit of Energy (J) required to heat the 10 L water, but its availability in
Bangalore has just began.
Lighting and Electricity

The lighting and electrical point sources of consumption were observed. All the orphanages
employ electric-run motor for water pumping system. Most of the orphanages had a single
1 hp to 3 hp motor. As of now, there are very limited alternatives to electric motor. One of
the upcoming alternatives is solar pump, but due to its exceedingly high installation cost [1],
orphanages in the survey, it is not a viable option.
When it comes to lighting, most of the orphanages vouch for 36W-40W fluorescent tubes
due to superior lighting (lumens) compared to CFL. LED is the least used source of
illumination in the orphanages, mainly owing to its heavy initial cost [2].
- Both tubelight and compact fluorescent lights (CFL) are similar in the sense that they
employ the same fluorescent technology i.e., both comprise phosphorus and
mercury to an extent and produce light when passed through these molecules. But
that is where their similarity ends. The illumination of light from tubelight in the
figures below is linear and irradiation pattern is cylindrical.
14

Fig 2. (a) Depiction of irradiation pattern of tubelight (b) A 36W tubelight
As such, the bright light from the tubelight extends over a large area and every inch of the
tubelight acting as a point source.
CFLs on the other hand are simply the miniature versions of the fluorescent tubelights. CFLs
are efficient and long lasting, but take time to warm up and take around 30-45 seconds to
reach full illumination from a cold start.
The point source of light emerging in a CFL bulb originates from the center and radiates
outside in circles as show in the figure below.
Fig 3. (a) Depiction of irradiation pattern of CFL bulb (b) A 15W CFL bulb
15

- Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), are getting popular and have started to replace the
fluorescent bulbs[2], but are yet to find daily use everywhere. This is also the case in
orphanages where the survey shows only 30% of have been able to employ it.
- LED is the greenest choice in the lighting industry since it doesn’t contain any
mercury, which is harmful for the environment unlike the fluoroscent lamps. In a
research study[3], it was found that the electrical conversion efficiency of LED was
found to be 88% (Fig 4), the highest among all the available lighting sources.
- It also has to be noted that LEDs in the orphanages is more commonly used as
emergency source of lighting in the form of torches and flashlights, but due to the
hefty price of the LED tubes in the current market, are hesitant to replace the
fluoroscent bulbs for normal lighting.

Water

Bio-sand filter
This technology[7] makes use of cement, layers of sand, pebbles and a 2-inch standing layer
known as the “bio-layer”. The greywater flows to the top where bacterial predation occurs
in bio-layer. Then the water moves through the filtration sand and, because of an
electrostatic charge, viruses adhere to the fine sand and are trapped within. This is known
as adsorption. Furthermore, because there’s no food, no light, and no oxygen, further
pathogen die-off takes place. The water then flows down into the pebbles and comes back
up in an outlet tube, and is stored in a clean water container with a lid to protect it from re-
contamination.
18

Fig 6. An infographic of bio-sand filter

The low cost Bio-sand filter costing about Rs. 3,000 has a lifetime of at least 30 years. It is
easy to maintain and filters 84 litres of water daily, enough for 10-12 people, or 70
schoolchildren. There is no ongoing costs, no maintenance costs, and no electricity costs.
19

Waste
Based on the findings that the majority of the waste generated by the orphanages is organic
(kitchen) waste and in the case of Seva Sadan in particular, there was a huge amounts of
cow dung in the vicinity, there are options to manage this in-situ rather than transport this
waste for disposal or processing. Various options could include composting, biogas
generation (that may supplement the LPG used for cooking) or bio-methanation in case of
larger units.

From Table 5 and Fig 6, the following observations were made:
- Major waste is kitchen waste, followed by paper and then wood waste in the case of St.
Mary’s Orphanage and cow dung in Seva Sadan.
- All the orphanages dispose the waste daily by door-to-door collection by BBMP.
- Swanthana makes use of an incinerator due to which it costs them Rs. 2000/month for
firewood, since the location of the orphanage is in the outskirts of the city, DTDC by BBMP is
scarce.
- Seva Sadan have accumulated cow dung of nearly 100 kg in the past 6 month, which hasn’t
been of use.
- It has also been found that in some cases, there are disposal charges regarding disposal of
waste.
Waste-to-energy (Biogas)
From the above analysis, it is imperative to consider the option of biogas. Biogas is a fuel that is
clean and non-polluting containing methane (60%), having a high calorific value of 891 kJ/mol, and
when it comes to combustion is similar to the characteristics of natural gas[4].
It can be produced from cattle dung (in case of Seva Sadan), human waste and other organic matter
arising from household consumption through anaerobic digestion, in a biogas plant.
Typically for an orphanage like Seva Sadan, a 10 m3 sized plant could suffice for 50 children and 40
staff members. This would on an average require 25 kg of dung on daily basis (equivalent to daily
produce of ~2.5 adult cattle).
22

In an urban city like Bangalore, given the low energy content of the kitchen or food waste, the ability
to cover the entire cooking needs of a household is low and invariably the biogas generated is used
for electricity generation [5]. For other orphanages, in combination with human waste, the option
needs to be evaluated for hybrid options with LPG or replacing it completely. It also provides a
feasible solution for managing solid organic waste and sewage water in decentralised manner
without adding to the load on the orphanages. Due to lack of resources and current limited cheaper
technologies, there is an obstacle for an in-depth analysis of the option.
Composting
Wherever biogas plant setup is not possible, a small pit composting unit can be installed on-site,
through which the resulting compost can be used for gardening (e.g. Swanthana) and to be sold to
generate a revenue.
Conclusions
From this report baseline assessment for orphanages in Bangalore, it can be concluded that
there is a need for looking beyond LPG, to other options such as PNG and induction cook
stoves in order to not heavily depend on only one source of fuel that is LPG. The energy
consumption can be reduced by acquiring LEDs and replacing the fluorescent bulbs
completely to save long term costs. Bio-sand filter has already been employed in rural areas
in different states in India and the demand for these filters is rising. The waste can be
managed by implementing small-scale biogas units and installing simple composting unit to
tackle solid wastes.
