“For India, Sanitation is more important than independence”. Mahatma Gandhi

The uncontrolled growth in urban areas has left many Indian cities deficient in infrastructure services as water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage and solid waste management. In many cities and towns in India, major portion of sewage remains unattended leading to insanitary conditions in densely populated slums. This in turn results in an increase in morbidity especially due to pathogens and parasitic
infections and infestations in all segments of population, particularly the urban slum dwellers.
