Sanitation is the hygienic means of preventing human contact with the multiple hazards associated with waste in order to promote health.
Some of the hazards include physical, microbiological, biological and chemical.
The most common hazards that pose health problems originate from human and animal faeces, solid waste, domestic wastewater, and industrial and agricultural waste.
To prevent the health threat posed by these wastes, engineering solutions such as sewerage and wastewater treatment and simple technologies like latrines, septic tanks or even hand washing with soap rank high.

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.

Sanitation Coverage And Impact Of Open Defecation Free (ODF) Zone With Specia...IJERA Editor
The basic needs of people such as safe drinking water, improved hygiene and sanitation must be fulfilled for a dignified life of human being. Sanitation is one of the major components which directly impact the living standard of people. However, people in many parts of the world have not got the sanitized condition and have been living in a non-hygienic situation. About 35% (2.5 billion) populations in the world are still lacking to access improved sanitation. There are many indicators of sanitized society but toilet is considered as one of the important ones. In Nepal, around 62% households have got the facility of toilet. This indicates that 38 % of households have no access to toilets and defecate openly. As a result people have got poor hygiene and sanitation environment. In turn, the country has got the loss of NRs. 10 billion annually. The objective of this paper is to explore the knowledge on open defecation (OD). OD is being eradicated from many parts of the world. Many western countries have already been free from OD. But this problem still exists in most of the developing and under-developed countries like Nepal. Though the adverse impact of OD is very high; people are not aware. Construction of toilets by providing outside support for the ultra poor people is not the rational way of eradication of OD. Technical and financial support for toilet construction could be effective if people are aware.
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.

3. WHO: Sanitation refers to the provision of facilities and
services for the safe management of human excreta from
the toilet to containment and storage and treatment onsite
or conveyance, treatment and eventual safe end use or
disposal.
UN: Sanitation literally means measures necessary for
improving and protecting health and well being of the
people. Sanitation is any system that promotes proper
disposal of human and animal wastes, proper use of toilet
and avoiding open space defecation.
Definition
4. Census 2011: Sanitation is a broad term which includes
safe disposal of human waste, waste water
management, solid waste management, water
supply, control of vectors of diseases, domestic and
personal hygiene, food, housing, etc.
Sanitation includes environmental sanitation which is
largely viewed as “the control of all those factors in
man’s physical environment which exercise a
deleterious effect on his physical environment,
health, alleviating poverty, enhancing quality of life
and raising productivity- all of which are essential for
sustainable development” (WHO 1992).
Definition
5. Globally 2.4 billion people live without access to
improved sanitation.
In addition to the challenges of providing many millions
of rural households with adequate sanitation, the world
continues to urbanize, and cities and small towns will
increasingly bear the burden of poor sanitation
Urban Sanitation around the World
6. Today, only 68% of the world’s population has access to
basic sanitation, and only 39% of people have access to
safely managed sanitation
Sanitation rarely receives the required attention and
priority.
WHO attributes 80% of all diseases and 25% of all deaths
in developing countries to polluted water
Urban Sanitation around the World
7. Open Defecation is a huge problem in rural areas.
Around 4, 50,000 deaths were linked to diarrhea
alone in 2006, of which 88% were deaths of children
below five.
Another impact of poor sanitation and the resultant
illnesses is the loss of productivity of the family
members.
Urban Sanitation in India
8. About 30 million urban residents (base population
from Census 2001) are without access to toilets, and
another 7 million using service and other
(unimproved) toilets.
In urban India, safe disposal of human excreta is the
biggest challenge.

National urban sanitation policy
Government policies
15. Approach - It should integrate slums and informal
settlements in all stages of planning and involve citizens in
the implementation and monitoring of public sanitation
facilities
Planning – government should conduct an initial need-
assessment survey in order to plan the number, design and
location of public toilets. It should review the performance
of existing public toilets on aspects including reasons for
their performance, financial and legal barriers to
performance, contractual limitations, institutional
weakness, gender sensitivity, design limitations.
Measures to be taken
16. Strategic implementation - Creating a demand for safe
sanitation services: It can be done through social
marketing of sanitation and behavior change
communication for urban sanitation.
Management - Govt. should review management models
for public sanitation facilities, including public private
partnerships, and develop feasibility criteria for sustainable
management of public sanitation facilities to support
decision making before selecting one or more models.
Measures to be taken
17. Monitoring – govt. should create a database that has
all existing public sanitation facilities and can be used
to support decision making and disseminating
information to the public, and provide means for it.
How can common man help?
Measures to be taken
18. Providing adequate sanitation will have profound
implications for human health and poverty alleviation.
Access to adequate sanitation literally signifies
crossing the most critical barrier to a life of dignity
and fulfillment of basic needs.
Focusing on youth and using education.
Taking responsibility for the environment.
