This document provides an overview of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), an approach to ending open defecation by empowering communities to recognize issues with sanitation and take collective action to become open defecation free. It describes how CLTS was developed, how it has been implemented in India, its key principles of igniting behavior change through collective action rather than subsidies, and participatory methodology using tools like transect walks and feces calculation. Implementation in states varies with some seeing coverage increases of 60-70% using CLTS in all districts, while others see smaller gains. The role of block coordinators and an example resource person are also outlined.
CLTS as a working approach: Experiences of Plan EthiopiaIRC
- The document discusses Plan Ethiopia's experience with introducing the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach to improve sanitation and hygiene in rural communities.
- CLTS was first introduced in Shebedino District in 2007 and saw promising results, with some villages achieving open defecation free status within months.
- The approach empowered communities to develop and implement their own sanitation solutions without relying on subsidies. It has since been scaled up to other areas managed by Plan Ethiopia.
This document presents a seminar on the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign by Richa Sharma. The campaign aims to clean streets, roads, and infrastructure across India. It was launched in 2014 by Prime Minister Modi to fulfill Gandhi's vision of a clean India. The objectives of the campaign are to develop community sanitation facilities, increase public awareness of cleanliness, and accomplish an open defecation free India by 2019. While the campaign faces challenges due to India's large population and changing behaviors, over 6 million toilets have been built and some states and villages have been declared open defecation free. Continued efforts are needed to educate people and make cleanliness a priority.
This document discusses aligning corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies with India's development agenda, with a focus on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in schools. It provides context on India's progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals and persisting development challenges like open defecation, child mortality, and access to sanitation. The status of WASH in Indian schools is examined, finding coverage of drinking water facilities has increased but functionality remains an issue, as does availability and separate toilets for girls. Key bottlenecks to effective WASH in schools programs are identified as coverage gaps, inadequate infrastructure, and poor operation and maintenance to ensure functionality.
The lack of connectivity, training, education, performance management, are major contributors to poor sanitation in most parts of India, and we believe that technology can be leveraged to play a vital role in improving sanitation efforts in the country.
CSR & Sustainability in the Indian Pharmaceutical Sector - Focus on GSKNeha Kumar
The document discusses CSR and sustainability in the Indian pharmaceutical sector. It notes that CSR blends well with business strategy for pharmaceutical firms to improve their public image against a backdrop of increasing healthcare costs. The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks highly globally but only around 10% of large firms report on sustainability. GSK is presented as a case study, with its CSR initiatives focusing on healthcare access, responsible business practices, and environmental sustainability. GSK's work in India includes tribal healthcare projects, nutrition programs, and cancer screening camps. The document outlines good practices by pharmaceutical companies around regulatory compliance, environmental protection, and transparency, as well as examples from major firms.

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.

This document proposes using mobile phones to spread awareness about sanitation in rural India. It begins by outlining the poor state of sanitation in India, with only 21% of rural populations having access and only 14% using existing facilities. The plan is to identify areas with low sanitation access, record voice messages in local languages about hygiene, and broadcast them through mobile networks. Telecom companies would fund the messages through corporate social responsibility programs. The impact would be monitored by factors like healthcare costs and school attendance. This targeted, low-cost mobile approach could more effectively spread hygiene awareness than current methods.

Towards cleaner India: Providing Clean Drinking Water and Proper Sanitation Facility to all. The document discusses the current poor status of sanitation in India, with over 50 million people defecating in the open daily. It outlines reasons for poor sanitation such as illiteracy and lack of awareness. Five cornerstones are proposed: awareness programs, improving hygiene, supplying filtered water, providing water storage, and adopting new techniques to reduce pipeline leakage. Challenges include economic issues, health problems from chlorination, and illiteracy hindering awareness. Investing $1 in sanitation can save $9 in health, education and economic development.

Both companies aim to create long-term social and economic benefits through their CSR programs.
The document discusses various corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives undertaken by different companies in India. It describes projects related to environmental protection, healthcare, education, empowering marginalized communities, and more. The document emphasizes that CSR goes beyond statutory compliance and that companies have a responsibility toward customers, employees, shareholders, and society. It provides many examples of partnerships between companies and non-profits to work on social and environmental issues.
Providing clean water and sanitation facilities to all Indians is a major challenge. Currently, many rural Indians lack access to these basic necessities. This leads to negative health and economic impacts, including high rates of water-borne diseases and lost work days. A proposed decentralized, community-based solution focuses on awareness campaigns, formation of local water committees, and utilizing technical expertise to develop sustainable drinking water and sanitation infrastructure and maintenance practices. The goal is a demand-driven, self-help model that empowers communities rather than relying solely on government provision.
IndianOil has been committed to corporate social responsibility since its inception in 1964. It views CSR as central to its long term success. Through community development programs focused on health, education, environment, and empowerment, IndianOil aims to improve lives and build value for shareholders and customers. It supports numerous social initiatives annually across India, focusing on underprivileged groups, and contributes funds and aid to national causes and disaster relief. IndianOil strives to conduct business in an environmentally sustainable way.

24. “I am a poor villager.
Each time anyone from
the family falls ill, we have to dig
into our meager savings. Whenever the
money runs out, we need to borrow and
this in turn begins a lifetime of financial
slavery. So you can imagine my surprise
when the Mobile 1000 van treated my
venous leg ulcer for free. To say that I am
thankful is an understatement. I will
never forget it.”
– Octogenarian Madan Munda,
Kothar village, Jharkhand

Wockhardt
Foundation’s
work is reflected
in the relief,
gratitude and
smiles of
thousands of
