Training on Sustainable Rural Sanitation

India has declared itself open defecation free (ODF). The infamous distinction of having the world’s largest number of people going out to defecate is a history. But would that signal the end of our quest for sanitation story? Most certainly not. 

The country is beginning to wake up to fresh challenge: how would it dispose of the massive amounts of solid and liquid waste generated from the millions of new toilets we have built? How do we prevent all this waste to seep back into our groundwater or our lakes and rivers and turn into an unmanageable health hazard? What are the safe, adaptable and sustainable technologies for managing toilet waste and for reusing faecal sludge?

We bring you a training programme designed to understand the problem and explore solutions. It will be conducted at our state-of-the-art residential training facility in Nimli, Rajasthan, by acknowledged experts from the field.

  1. Information on safe toilet technologies practised in different ecological regions of India

Alumni Feedback
Karnataka is looking for the alternatives in solid and liquid waste management that are economical, less technical and demand low operation and maintenance. This training helped us to grasp new avenues and address existing challenges. The thematic sessions were very focused and content rich. The elaborative session of DPR preparation is among the major takeaway from this training.

As Rajasthan is already an ODF state, we are now working on ODF plus and ODF sustainability. This training helped us to grasp new avenues and address existing challenges. The thematic sessions were very focused and content rich.
