| Summary: | Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) launched
by Government of India has been the cornerstone of a
decentralized, incentive based approach to achieve rural
sanitation objectives. The scheme has developed strategic
components to ensure coverage of sanitation facilities
through financial and programmatic support for households,
and for institutional and community sanitation. Construction
of toilets needs to be complemented with mechanisms of waste
handling to ensure a safe and hygienic environment in the
rural areas. Safe disposal of solid and liquid waste is a
major step on the sanitation ladder where communities have
begun to successfully tackle. Government at present has
specific provision for solid and liquid waste management
(SLWM) as an important component under TSC. The Ministry of
Drinking Water and Sanitation has been continuously updating
technical notes on rural sanitation to reinforce the quality
of interventions. The Hand Book on scaling up solid and
liquid waste management in rural areas gives a very useful
insight on the planning, construction, operation and
maintenance of SLWM units in a sustainable way. The effort
has been to make a comprehensive document that is user
friendly for planning and executing agencies. |
