Hello Again

Dear friends How are you all.
I am back again to write my views and developments in Sanitation after a prolong illness. 

QUESTION?????????????

In Total Sanitation Campaign… Lots of books

Solid and liquid waste management in rural areas…a technical note.

A hand book for village & sanitation committee & Village Water and sanitation committee …..among the few books in my hand right now.

            WHAT IS THE USE…….

            IS IT REALLY WORKING IN INDIA????????????

• It is shameful to see India like this.
• Why don’t you question DDWS?
• Why the responsible people/organization you have trusted doing anything?
• Why are you spending so much of money when there is no fruitful work?
• MAKE A CHANGE.
• REFORM THE SYSTEM.

SANIATION- Its importance….

SANIATION- Its importance….

Sanitation generally refers to the provision of facilities and services for the safe disposal of human urine and faeces. Inadequate sanitation is a major cause of disease world-wide and improving sanitation is known to have a significant beneficial impact on health both in households and across communities. The word 'sanitation' also refers to the maintenance of hygienic conditions, through services such as construction of individual house hold latrine, garbage collection and wastewater disposal.

Around 1.1 billion people globally do not have access to improved water supply sources whereas 2.4 billion people do not have access to any type of improved sanitation facility. About 2 million people die every year due to diarrhoeal diseases, most of them are children less than 5 years of age. The most affected are the populations in developing countries, living in extreme conditions of poverty, normally peri-urban dwellers or rural inhabitants. Among the main problems which are responsible for this situation are: lack of priority given to the sector, lack of financial resources, lack of sustainability of water supply and sanitation services, poor hygiene behaviours, and inadequate sanitation in public places including hospitals, health centres, schools and anganwadi centers. Providing access to sufficient quantities of safe water, the provision of facilities for a sanitary disposal of excreta, and introducing sound hygiene behaviours are of capital importance to reduce the burden of disease caused by these risk factors.

Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of wastes. Hazards can be either physical, microbiological, biological or chemical agents of disease. Wastes that can cause health problems are human and animal feces, solid wastes, domestic wastewater (sewage, sullage, greywater), industrial wastes and agricultural wastes. Hygienic means of prevention can be by using engineering solutions (e.g. sewerage and wastewater treatment), simple technologies (e.g. latrines, septic tanks), or even by personal hygiene practices (e.g. simple handwashing with soap).

Rural Sanitation

In India Rural Sanitation is a State Subject and is undertaken by the State Government under the State Sector Minimum Needs Programmes (MNP). The Centrally Sponsored Rural Sanitation Programme  (CRSP) was launched in 1986 to supplement the efforts of the States. The programme was restructured during the Ninth Plan and introduced Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC). TSC as a part of reform principles was initiated in April 1, 1999 when Central Rural Sanitation Programme was restructured making it demand driven and people centered. It follows a principle of “low to no subsidy” where a nominal subsidy in the form of incentive is given to rural poor households for construction of toilets. TSC gives strong emphasis on Information, Education and Communication (IEC), Capacity Building and Hygiene Education for effective behaviour change with involvement of PRIs, CBOs, and NGOs etc. The key intervention areas are Individual household latrines (IHHL), School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE), Community Sanitary Complex, Anganwadi toilets supported by Rural Sanitary Marts (RSMs) and Production Centers (PCs). The main goal of the GOI is to eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2012. To give fillip to this endeavor, GOI has launched Nirmal Gram Puraskar to recognize the efforts in terms of cash awards for fully covered PRIs and those individuals and institutions who have contributed significantly in ensuring full sanitation coverage in their area of operation. The project is being implemented in rural areas taking district as a unit of implementation. Total Sanitation Campaign is a comprehensive programme to ensure sanitation facilities in rural areas with broader goal to eradicate the practice of open defecation.

In India the model of  Individual house hold latrine (IHHL) was upgraded four times. The cost of  initial model was Rs. 625.00 where the beneficiaries had to contribute Rs. 125.00. The model was then upgraded to model E costing Rs. 1500.00 where the beneficiaries had to contribute Rs. 300.00. The model was again upgraded to One Pit Pour Flush Latrine with a provision for second pit costing Rs. 3000.00 where the beneficiaries had to contribute Rs. 300.00. The cost of  the model is now 4000.00 where the beneficiaries had to contribute Rs. 300.00.

The  Individual house hold latrine is provided to beneficiaries who are below poverty line (BPL). The above poverty line (APL) families are given awareness, motivation and specification to construct sanitary latrine by their own. Initially the beneficiaries are entitled to get the latrine if their name is listed in BPL list provided by the DRDA department. Recently the Government of India have instructed to follow the BPL list of P&RD department which is in the web site.

The construction of hardware activities is entrusted to Non Government Organisation (NGO) / Self Help Group (SHG) generally and in some cases to PRI. They are given instruction, drawing and specification for construction of hardware activities

The TSC activities over the years have seen growth. The Community is participating in this practice, but a lot need to be done yet. DDWS need to review its implementation procedure. All are in papers and meeting rooms. The money involved and the people responsible for its success should be ashamed off.

I being a simple citizen of BHARAT request my fellow brother and sister to follow the guidelines of Sanitation…..

1. Drinking water and its safe handling and storing.

2. Safe disposal of waste water..

3. Safe disposal of human excreta.

4. Safe disposal of Garbage and cattle dung.

5. Home Sanitation and food hygiene.

6. Personal hygiene.

7. Village sanitation.

We have to make Bharat like all the other Developed countries. 

 

Think

Climate change will change our beautiful world.

GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING

·        Himalayas Glaciers will vanish by 2035. It is melting at the rate of 34 meters per year. The melting glaciers will cause temperatures and sea-levels to rise and there will be a cascading effect on the crops and the monsoons.

·        40 % of wild life will perish.

·        Disease will spread.

·        Our biggest delta will be entirely submerged.

·        One calculation reveals that if the sea-levels rose by just 1 metre… as many as 7 million people would be displaced and 5,764 sq km of land and 4,200 km of roads would be lost!

·        As the world's 4th largest emitter of greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone components will rise the temperature levels.
There are dozens of example to cite.

India is one of the most vulnerable countries when it comes to effects of global warming.

India don’t have the infrastructure to manage such a situation.

What is India and the World doing?

The next generaion will not see many beauties of the world.

THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE....WHY NO ONE REALISE?

THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE....WHY NO ONE REALISE?

write,comment,post,blog anything about major issues in pure drinking water, sanitation and hygiene education. U can read my blogs at http://skdc14.blogspot.com/ and can write in sanitationforall@groups.facebook.com or other Departments working for it.

 

“This is our right.”

Why?

It is shameful that we neglect open defecation and don't oppose.
