Solid waste management is a worldwide problem and it is becoming more and more complicated day by day due to rise in population, industrialization and changes in our life style. Transformation of industrial sludges into Vermicomposting is of double interest: on the one hand, a waste is converted into value added product, and, on the other, it controls a pollutant that is a consequence of increasing industrialization. Garden waste, kitchen waste and cow dung were subjected to recycle through Vermicomposting by using the epigeic earthworm Eisenia fetida E.euginea under field conditions. Earthworms can serve as tools to facilitate these functions. They serve as nature’s plowman” and form nature’s gift to produce good humus, which is the most precious material to fulfill the nutritional needs of crops. The utilization of Vermicomposting results in several benefits to farmers, industries, environment and overall national economy. The present study was carried out of convert the cow dung wastes in to organic waste through Vermicomposting. The fruit waste and Cow dung were mixed in the ratio 3:1 after 40 days decomposition, the warms E.euginea and E.fotida were inoculated in to the compost bin. The castings were collected from the surface of the bin after 1 week of inoculation of the warm. The Physico chemical Parameters like alkaline and acid, and electrical conductivity. Macro nutrients and micronutrients, C: N ratio and organic Carbon were analyzed in cow dung wastes, compost and the castings and the parameters shows the Optimum value in castings which was confirmed. The study was carried out in to convert the fruit wastes into an organic fertilizer through vermicomposting.The fruit wastes and cow dung were mixed in the ratio 2: 1.After 40 days of decomposition, the worms Eudrilus euginae and Eisenia foetida were inoculated into the compost bin. The castings were collected from the surface of the bin after one week of inoculation of the worm. The physic-chemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, macronutrients, micronutrients, C: N ratio and organic carbon were analyzed in fruit wastes, compost and the castings and the parameters shows optimum value in castings which was confirmed by t- test. Meanwhile the rejuvenation of degraded soils by protecting topsoil and sustainability of productive soils is a major concern at the international level. Provision of a sustainable environment in the soil by amending with good quality organic soil additives enhances the water holding capacity and nutrient supplying capacity of soil and also the development of resistance in plants to pests and diseases. By reducing the time of humification process and by evolving the methods to minimize the loss of nutrients during the course of decomposition, the fantasy becomes fact
