Understanding sanitation
Building toilets alone does not solve India’s sanitation issues. A research paper says what more can be done. Posted on 04 Jul, 2016 09:36 PM

It is a fact that constructing toilets alone cannot ensure total sanitation. The real challenge lies in getting people to use them. While treating fecal sludge and disposing it are largely urban concerns, modifying behaviour and motivating people to abandon open defecation are considered rural sanitation challenges.

The overall strategy of behaviour change must be open to and address barriers influenced by caste, gender and other local variables. (Source: India WASH Forum)
