Feedback
Training was conducted in a very engagingand cooperative environment. All the trainers were well informed.Overall a great and learning experience. 

Ashish, SDMC
Thanks a lot for the training. This should not be one-timeprogramme, we should be called frequently for interaction & learning process as such institutes are expected to provide solutions to problems. A practical approach is required to implement on ground.

Mukesh Sharma, NDMC
"It is an outstanding organization. The implementation of DWWTs and Rainwater Harvesting inside the campus is a best practice which impacted us very much. The same can be implemented in office buildings in Odisha. The trainers are highly interactive and have worked in ULBs. So they could share their experience from the ground which is very useful. Governance issues in water and sanitation sector and reforms- how to address them with case studies may be taken up in next modules i.e. capsule 1".

Mr. Prasanta Kumar Mohapatra, Project Director, OWSSB, Bhubaneswar
The training program was very beneficial to me as I learned a lot about septage management. Before this training I had a very little knowledge about septage.
