Solid waste is increasing day by day because of the increase in population and habits of people and has become a major world crisis This research work is an initiative to convert kitchen waste into manure in a 20-22 days rapid duration. Composting is a technique for the treatment of the wet waste generated by the household kitchen waste and this is an effective disposal way to convert kitchen waste into manure. It will be useful for agriculture purposes to increase soil fertility. Composting helps us to reduce the waste in landfills but this method is not used widely. The findings from the literature review are that the utilization of organic products is low because people are more using chemical fertilizers because of their fast reaction. By carefully viewing research papers it comes to identify that people are not giving the majority importance to using organic fertilizers. In the literature, factors that could slow down the composting process and affect the compost quality were notified, also the wide variety of the biological composition of composting. The main gap identified is that normally the process of composting in which some soil, cow dung, and vermicompost are used for the degradation of the waste, but this process requires some more time. As the model tested for kitchen waste, I found that increasing the microbial bacterial activity in the waste while processing for composting will help to faster the rate of decomposition of the organic matter. With the help of yogurt where its bacterial activity helps for decomposition, the composting experiment done takes about 20-22 days for the final product and whereas the other process requires 30-45 days for the final product. The result of the product obtained is used for gardening near the house.
