The lack of sanitation facility leads to diseases, incapacity, lesser productivity, higher spending on medicines and treatment resulting in lesser income, no or less saving, unwanted debts which adversely affects overall human development. Eighty per cent of the diseases afflicting mankind are either water-borne or excreta-related. Yet, the majority of people in rural areas continue the age-old practice of indiscriminate open defecation, which poses a serious threat to the sources of drinking water in the community, and poses continuous health risks in the day-to-day life of the community through direct or indirect contact with human excreta. Keeping in view these fact this Ashrama was entrusted as implementing agency for NIRMAL GRAM YOGNA for Angara Block of Ranchi District.
Objectives of the Programme
q To trigger the community to feel the need of stopping open defecation practices; q To generate collective action at the community level with regard to water and sanitation; q To promote low-cost, location-specific appropriate technologies of household toilet; q To bring behaviourial changes amongst the community on various aspects of water and sanitation. q To strengthen the supply chain by streamlining Production Center and Rural Sanitary Mart |
