WASH Strategies for Rural India

Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and services in rural India remain inadequate due to low levels of investment, poor operation and maintenance, and weak local governmental institutions that lack financial resources. State governments and Panchayat raj institutions are responsible for planning, designing, and executing water supply schemes, while the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation establishes policies and regulations. Effective WASH requires cleaning and disinfecting water sources, storage, distribution systems, and treatment in both regular and emergency situations.
