Total Sanitation Campaign
Individual Health and hygiene is largely dependent on adequate availability of drinking water and proper sanitation. There is, therefore, a direct relationship between water, sanitation and health. Consumption of unsafe drinking water, improper disposal of human excreta, improper environmental sanitation and lack of personal and food hygiene have been major causes of many diseases in developing countries. India is no exception to this. Prevailing High Infant Mortality Rate is also largely attributed to poor sanitation. It was in this context that the Central Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) was launched in 1986 primarily with the objective of improving the quality of life of the rural people and also to provide privacy and dignity to women.
The concept of sanitation was earlier limited to disposal of human excreta by cesspools, open ditches, pit latrines, bucket system etc. Today it connotes a comprehensive concept, which includes liquid and solid waste disposal, food hygiene, and personal, domestic as well as environmental hygiene. Proper sanitation is important not only from the general health point of view but it has a vital role to play in our individual and social life too. Sanitation is one of the basic determinants of quality of life and human development index. Good sanitary practices prevent contamination of water and soil and thereby prevent diseases. The concept of sanitation was, therefore, expanded to include personal hygiene, home sanitation, safe water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water disposal.
The strategy of SSD is to make the Programme 'community led' and ‘people centred’. A "demand driven approach" was adopted with increased emphasis on awareness creation and demand generation for sanitary facilities in houses, schools and for cleaner environment. Alternate delivery mechanisms were adopted to meet the community needs. Subsidy for individual household latrine units was replaced by incentive to the poorest of the poor households. Rural School Sanitation is a major component and an entry point for wider acceptance of sanitation by the rural people. Technology improvisations to meet the customer preferences and location specific intensive IEC Campaign involving Panchayati Raj Institutions, Co-operatives, Women Groups, Self Help Groups, NGOs etc. were also important components of the Strategy. The strategy addressed all sections of rural population to bring about the relevant behavioural changes for improved sanitation and hygiene practices and meet their sanitary hardware requirements in an affordable and accessible manner by offering a wide range of technological choices.
The main objectives of the SSD under TSC were to bring about an improvement in the general quality of life in the rural areas, accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas to access to toilets to all by 2012, motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting sustainable sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education. In rural areas, cover schools and anganwadis with sanitation facilities and promote hygiene education and sanitary habits among students, encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable sanitation, develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquid waste management.
The start-up activities by SSD included conducting of preliminary survey to assess the status of sanitation and hygiene practices, people’s attitude and demand for improved sanitation, etc. with the aim to prepare the District TSC project proposals for seeking Government of India assistance. The start-up activities were also include conducting a Baseline Survey (BLS), preparation of Project Implementation Plan (PIP), initial orientation and training of key programme managers at the district level. Under this SSD prepared 70 toilets in the Mamchari gram panchayat of the Karauli district.
Community based Health Management System:
Most of these villages have no infrastructure like all weather road, electricity etc. Therefore villagers have no option other than walking for 10-15 Km. to get treatment. Therefore SSD has endeavored to provide health services to villagers at their doorsteps through
SSD’s mobile clinic services.
Starting drug distribution center managed by villages themselves.
Organizing Health camps in villages.
SSD have been involved in improving health facilities among girls and pregnant women by creating awareness on health issues and by implementing health programmes on regular interval. Women now are aware the importance of Vaccination and we have also seen the drastic changes in child marriages after this programme. Local people are happy after implementation of these health activities.
