Nirmal Gujarat - an integrated approach to total sanitation in Gujarat
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Vinay Vyasa'Nirmal Gujarat’ is a new initiative of Gujarat government for achieving total sanitation facilities in
rural and urban areas of Gujarat to improve sanitation and hygiene for a clean environment while
accelerating overall development in the state. In the past, expected results in terms of longterm
sustainability could not be achieved because of a range of issues ranging from inappropriate technology
selection to low levels of people involvement, etc. TSC and Nirmal Gujarat have tried to overcome these
shortcomings by extensive community engagement. A key concept of TSC and Nirmal Gujarat is to
encourage the active participation of women in all aspects of sanitation implementation. The realization
of these concepts has led TSC & Nirmal Gujarat to begin working with communities to increase women’s
involvement in sanitation projects. The strategies have been thus designed to address these factors to
achieve benefits and an equitable impact for all communities.
