Individual Health and hygiene is largely dependent on adequate availablity of drinking water and proper sanitation. There is, therefore, a direct relationship between water, sanitation and health. BM Consumption of unsafe drinking water, improper disposal of human excreta, improper environmental sanitation and lack of personal and food hygiene have been major causes of many diseases in developing countries. India is no exception to this. The concept of sanitation was expanded to indude personal hygiene, home sanitation, safe water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water disposal. With this broader concept of sanitation, CRSP adopted a “demand driven” approach with the name “Total Sanitation Campaign” (TSC) with effect from 1999. The revised approach emphasized more on Information, Education and Communication (IEC), Human Resource Development, Capacity Development activities to inarease awareness among the rural people and generation of demand for sanitary facilities This enhanced people’s capacity to choose appropriate options through alternate delivery mechanisms as per their economic condition.
