With the worlds largest sanitation programme the Swacch Bharat Mission , launched on August 15th 2014 Indias sanitation landscape has seen tremendous change in the last 10 years . Experiences are coalescing and new challenges being addressed . Large scale government led assistance through the Namami Gange, AMRUT , Smart City Missions have focused on improving sanitation outcomes.

From the twin pit toilet, the steeply sloping Indian WC pan to state of the art wastewater treatment plants which can recycle sewage to drinking water all technologies are at play in the sanitation sector. Decentralized wastewater treatment systems , Ecosan, Sustainable Sanitation , Faecal Sludge Treament Plants, Faecal Sludge management, scheduled desludging , Reinvented toilets, Shit Flow Diagrams , City Wide Inclusive Sanitation and circular economy are some of the new acronyms , ideas and language that has entered the sector.

Community Led Total Sanitation with Kamal Kar and Robert Chambers spearheading it, Sulabh movement led by Bindeshwar Pathak , Padmashri were some of the pioneering ideas seen.

Some of us practitioners have experienced this transition and landscape change first hand and would like to have a discussion on just our understanding of it and the challenges which lie ahead of the sector.
