Rural Sanitation Programme

A very comprehensive Baseline Survey on Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in rural water supply and sanitation was conducted, which showed that 55% of those with private latrines were self-motivated. 

Only 2% of the respondents claimed the existence of subsidy as the major motivating factor, while 54% claimed to have gone in for sanitary latrines due to convenience and privacy. A direct relationship exists between water, sanitation and health.

Consumption of unsafe drinking water, improper disposal of human excreta and lack of personal and food hygiene have been the major causes of many diseases in developed countries like India. The concept of sanitation was earlier limited to disposal of human excreta by cesspools, open ditches, pit latrines, bucket system etc.

Today it connotes a comprehensive concept, which includes liquid and solid waste disposal, food hygiene, and personal, domestic as well as environmental hygiene.  Proper sanitation is important not only from the general health point of view but it has a vital role to play in our individual and social life too.

Sanitation is one of the basic amenities people must have as it has a direct link to food hygiene.  Good sanitation practices prevent contamination of water and soil and thereby prevent diseases.  The concept of sanitation was, therefore, expanded to include personal hygiene, home sanitation, safe water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water disposal.
