The concept
The sort of assistance we can provide both Indian municipalities, and local contractors through this web site, is amongst those which we describe as consultancy support in "Technology Sourcing".
We think that we can say quite justifiably that UK consultants is a leader in this.
For example, a consultancy available via our service as a major provider to the UK government department "Defra".
Under one programme given as an example here, the United Kingdom central government for many years provided a service, known as the "supporter programme" to each of the English local authorities, so that were able to phone that contractor or ask us to visit them and assist them in their own pre-feasibility and feasibility work, leading up to signing PPP Contracts in connection with selection of new waste technologies providing information, consultation, and contacts. 
Central government paid for all this because it is in the nations' interest that as a nation we comply with the EU's onerous waste diversion targets, but equally, such advice can be structured to support the rapid and successful introduction of innovative technologies for many other regulatory compliance matters.
There is a large element of technical training involved through problem solving. It is important to stress here that within this programme it is considered to be just as important that the advice given is accessible to the politicians (that is the local councillors), as it is to the local government officers.
This has was a wonderful opportunity for consultancy staff to provide a "centre of excellence" in this subject, as well enabling the consultants to pass on new and improved ideas as a result of an intensive cross-fertilisation of ideas and knowledge.
In a very similar way to the position in India, a period of rapid change is needed to bring in new and much more sustainable practices to the UK.
The Waste Management industry is a very good example, of an industry where a rapid uptake of new technology is now advancing in an area in which a nation had very little existing expertise, until about five years ago, when the regulatory framework first changed.
The United Kingdom has until very recently always relied very heavily on informal community source separation of waste materials with almost all residues then sent to landfill. 
We think that this means that we can be of great value to the waste management decision making process in India in your decision making process, because we think that we have been going through a very closely parallel process of technical review, and we presume that we are now been "rethinking rubbish" in a very similar way?
