The brochure summarizes the FSM project piloted in Dhenkanal, Odisha, and the journey the district undertook to become one of first districts to have 'safely managed' sanitation systems in India.
The Project is being implemented in the Dhenkanal district in the state of Odisha in consultation and partnership with the Panchayat Raj and Drinking Water Department and Housing and Urban Development Department, Government of Odisha, the Dhenkanal District administration and the Dhenkanal Municipality.
The Project focuses on district-wide sanitation through leveraging the available urban Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) for safely managing faecal sludge generated in the neighbouring Gram Panchayats (GPs) and demonstrating solid and liquid waste management in a cluster of Gram Panchayats in the district. The main aim of the Project is to create a model that enables scaling up of SLWM services and systems in rural areas at both the state and national levels.
