India, a country with one of the oldest civilisations of the world had the concept of sanitation from Indus valley days. Excavations at Harappa and Mohenjadaro sites show evidence that even in ancient India, the practice of using toilets was prevalent and even community toilets and proper drainage systems were present. Yet so many centuries later, it is a paradoxical reality that the country is grappling with the problems of open defecation and access to sanitation facilities. Sanitation, in today’s parlance, is a comprehensive concept which includes waste disposal, environmental, domestic, personal and food hygiene. It is one of the basic determinants of quality of life and human development index. Good sanitary measures and proper utilisation of the facilities is an important component of healthy living including reduction of morbidity and mortality and prevention of water and soil pollution. Lack of clean drinking water, improper disposal of waste and human excreta, improper environmental sanitation and lack of personal and food hygiene - all of this has direct adverse impact on health, quality of life and economic and social well being. A number of innovative and successful approaches have increased access to sanitation. However, much more needs to be done to scale-up and sustain these efforts.
WaterAid India's position paper highlights that while sanitation is now firmly on the national agenda in India, coverage remains low, especially for the poor. Key challenges include social and economic barriers to behavior change, lack of access for marginalized groups, and weak implementation of government programs. The paper calls for policy reforms prioritizing the needs of the poor, including a national sanitation policy, integrating water and sanitation programs, strengthening local institutions, and expanding capacity building efforts. It emphasizes sustainability, community participation, and addressing socio-cultural factors over narrow target-based approaches.

Swach Bharat Abhiyan Challenges and Prospectsijtsrd
Swach Bharat Abhiyan, it means that clean India mission it is a national level campaign launched by the Government of India on 2nd October 2014 to accelerate the efforts to achieve universal sanitation coverage. It is a major step towards the protection of degrading environment. The important objects of the mission include elimination of open defecation, conversion of insanitary toilets to pour flush toilets, eradication of manual scavenging and above all to bring about a behavioral change in people regarding healthy sanitation practices. It also ensures public participation in achieving these objectives. The campaign aims to achieve its objectives on 2019 as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary. The important objective of the SBM is that to improve the level of cleanliness and to make open defecation free. Swach Bharat mission has had the biggest domino effect in the world. Because it has addressed the centuries old practices on open defecation and it has had major health and economic impact. According to reports, 11 states are now open defecation free namely Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Gujarat, Chandigarh, Daman and Diu, Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Meghalaya. India, which had sanitation coverage of mere 41.92 per cent in 2014 has increased its coverage to 63.94 per cent, and this improvement is being viewed as a major success of the campaign. More than 3.5 crore toilets have been built under the mission in two years compared 83 lakh toilets built in 10 years between 2001 and 2011 under the Total Sanitation Campaign, as per the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation. Not only is it a sharp increase in the number of toilets built under any national sanitation programme, but the pace of constructing toilets under Swach Bharat has been speedier as well. Nearing three years of completion, the campaign has now also laid its focus on the other aspects of sanitation such as behavioral change, piped water supply to toilets and drainage. However, it has been clearly declared that the campaign is not only the duty of the government but each and every citizen of the country is equally responsible to keep the nation clean or swatch.

This document discusses the poor state of sanitation in India and proposes solutions. It notes that over 50 million people in India still defecate in the open due to lack of adequate sanitation facilities. This leads to health issues. Reasons for poor sanitation include lack of awareness, minimal use of water harvesting, and discharge of industrial water. Solutions proposed include awareness programs in local languages, improving hygiene, supplying filtered water, providing water storage, and adopting new techniques to reduce pipeline leaks. Challenges include economic issues, potential health effects of chlorination, and illiteracy. Investing in sanitation could save $9 for every $1 spent by improving health, education, and economic development.
According to statistics from the NSSO, India faces significant sanitation and access to clean water issues. Over 626 million people practice open defecation daily, exposing them to diseases. Each year, unsafe water and lack of sanitation kills 1.6 million children under five. Proposed solutions include improving water harvesting, using bio-digesters in water-scarce areas, and providing clean drinking water through traditional, low-cost methods. However, past government programs have had limited success due to lack of community involvement and transparency issues. Involving local communities and utilizing cost-effective traditional techniques could help address these critical health and environmental problems in India.

India faces significant challenges in providing clean drinking water and sanitation to its population. Approximately 97 million people lack access to safe water and 814 million lack basic sanitation services. Poor sanitation and unsafe water have led to widespread health issues, with over 1,600 deaths from diarrhea alone every day. While India has undertaken various efforts and programs to expand access, issues around management, funding, awareness, and equitable access persist. Addressing India's water and sanitation crisis will require improved coordination, prioritization of hygiene education, consideration of all socioeconomic groups, and innovative solutions tailored to local needs.

1. Facts About Sanitation In India
India is likely the only nation where earlier generations had a more effective sanitation
system than the one in use now. The subsurface drainage system used by the Indus Valley
civilization was distinctive. The main sewer, which was 91 cm wide and 1.5 metres deep, was
connected to other east-west and north-south sewers. It was constructed using smoothed-
out bricks that blended in perfectly.
But today, India is one of several developing nations that has been working for years to
ensure that everyone has access to safe sanitation. One of the main objectives of
programmes promoting sanitation in India is the abolition of open defecation and the
improvement of solid waste management.
One of India's most well-known and revered rivers is the Ganges. Being immediately injected
with untreated sewage by the majority of the cities, it is also one of the most contaminated
rivers.
The main issues in India are open defecation and communicable waterborne infections. They
contribute to the high child mortality rate in India.
In India, there is a lack of sufficient and suitable restrooms, which contributes to open
defecation. Prior to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign, only 32.7% of rural homes had
access to a toilet; now, 98.8% do, thanks to more than 100 million newly built toilets that
now span the majority of the rural area.
The research show that some rural residents prefer open defecation because they think it is
more joyful and desired than using toilets.
There were 626 million Indians and 14 million Chinese defecating in the open, respectively,
according to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics.
The World Bank estimates that India spent more money in 2006 to compensate for the lack
of toilets than Gujarat and Tamil Nadu combined in GSDP in 2006–2007.
Due to the vastly greater number of mobile users than toilet users, India's communications
sector operates better than the highly regulated housing sector.
These statistics might seem absurd, but India has to make significant improvements to its
sanitation infrastructure in the near future. Additionally, the government has vowed to
improve India's hygienic conditions.
