The document proposes a "Twin Tap Scheme" to provide clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in rural Indian villages. The key aspects of the proposal are: 1) Each household would receive two water taps - one for drinking water and one for other uses like washing. 2) The local governing body and community would be responsible for constructing toilets, a community water tank, and common washing areas. Households or a labor program would provide manual labor. 3) The government would bear the costs of water pipelines, supply, and sewage systems. Households would help with construction labor. 4) The goal is to achieve the Millennium Development Goals of safe drinking water,

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

- 1. Providing clean drinking water and sanitation facility for all Towards Cleaner India Team details College: IIT Madras Team coordinator : Habeeb Baig Members : Srikanth Kolla, Nitish Reddy Bhagavathi Ravitej, Rithesh S B
- 2. If 90 school buses filled with kindergartners crash everyday, the world would notice…That’s exactly the number of deaths caused by lack of safe drinking water and sanitation facility. • The countries where open defecation is most widely practiced are the same countries with the highest numbers of under-five child deaths, high levels of under-nutrition and poverty, and large wealth disparities. • Lack of proper sanitation facilities not only breeds numerous diseases but can rob people off their basic human dignity. • Trek for water keeps women away from jobs or schools, they also risk personal safety during the process. • Lack of awareness amongst people, lack of funds is the reason many govt. schemes are defunct.
- 3. Girls under the age of 15 are twice as likely as boys to be the family member responsible for fetching water Most schools lack basic facilities. Without toilets, girls often drop out at puberty. In developing countries, as much as 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions. Washing hands with soap can reduce the risk of diarrheal diseases by up to 47 %. 443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related diseases. 1 in 8 people do not have access to drinking water THE PROBLEM Half of the world's hospital beds are filled with people suffering from a water-related disease. People spend up to 7 hrs. fetching water daily.
- 4. Educate to change consumption and lifestyles Invent new water conservation technologies Recycle wastewater Improve irrigation and agricultural practices Appropriately price water Develop energy efficient desalination plants Improve water catchment and harvesting Look to community-based governance and partnerships Develop and enact better policies and regulations Holistically manage ecosystems R&D / Innovation Climate change mitigation Shrink corporate water footprints Financing options Shrink corporate water footprints Address Pollution POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
- 5. If only all the available resources are managed effectively, we could see an end to major health issues and save MILLIONS of lives… • Involvement of public is essential for success of any scheme. • Micro-financing local governing bodies, SHGs and individuals for less interest rates. Valuable time spent on collecting water could be used in their productive activities. • Many MFIs are already lending for WASH-related purposes. One example is a combination loan. A borrower uses a portion of the loan to pay for a toilet and the remaining balance for something else • Involve villagers in providing manual labor (e.g., digging trenches, building water tanks, etc.) to impart ownership. • Users with a financial stake in their water supply solutions also have a greater incentive to ensure proper operation and maintenance. • Generating investments from within local economies is a key element in allowing developing countries to reverse the dependence on external aid that has shown only mixed success in meeting long-term water and sanitation needs. • Wells, dams and rain catchment systems can provide a reliable source of drinking water. Sanitation facilities and hygiene training then help multiply the impact. Communities become far better able to grow themselves out of poverty.
- 6. PROPOSAL – Twin Tap Scheme • Each house to get two water taps. One for drinking and one for wash/bath area. • Construction of toilets and community tank to be taken care of by the local governing body/community. • In case the community is not able to afford the same, the entire village should actively take part in the construction process. • Labor may be paid daily wages in accordance with the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. • Govt. will bear the cost of sewage system and water pipe installation/supply. • Villages without a stable source of water can avail this facility only if all households in the village adhere to the Twin Tap Scheme.
- 7. IMPLEMENTATION Operational funds Finance Micro- finance Wages for labor Sewage system How govt. helps households Pipelines, Water supply How households help govt. Labor for construction. Construction of toilets, Community tank, common wash area. MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS Safe drinking water, sanitation and improved living standards.
- 8. Financing Options According to the World Health Organization, for every $1 invested in water and sanitation, there is an economic return of between $3 and $34! Corporate Social Responsibility contributes 18,000 crore to the CSR fund annually. Ten percent of this amount can satisfy most of the sanitary and water needs of the country. Tax benefits to be provided to companies if they adopt villages, solve water & sanitation problem. As the proposal mainly aims at reallocating the funds and optimizing the existing schemes, we need not look for new fund raising avenues .
