The Government of India unveiled National Urban sanitation Policy during November 2008. It envisages
to promote provision of household toilets apart from community planned and managed toilets where
there are constraints of space. The policy also emphasies safe disposal of waste water, recycling of
treated waste water, and managing of public sanitation facilities including Solid Waste Management
in all urban areas. The vision for Urban Sanitation in India is: “All Indian cities and towns should
become totally sanitised, healthy and habitable to ensure and sustain good public health
and improved environmental outcomes for all their citizens with a special focus on hygienic
and affordable sanitation facilities to the urban poor and women”. The Government has identified
100% sanitation as a goal during the 11th Five Year Plan [2007-2012]. The main elements of the
policy are financial assistance for state level sanitation strategies and city level plans and Detailed
Project Reports (DPRs), promoting Public Private Partnership (PPP), awareness generation and
capacity building etc. The policy envisages an annual rating schemes for all Class-I cities and
institution of an annual award.

The goals include awareness generation and behavioural change, elimination of open defecation, integrated city-widesanitation, safe disposal and proper operation and maintenance of all sanitary installations.
The policy focuses on achievements of outcomes rather than on mere construction of infrastructure, and emphasisesbuilding capacities at the city level
The Government will help formulating and implementing a strategy on capacity building and training to supportstates to build their personnel capacities and organisational systems for delivery of sanitation services.
The Ministry of Urban Development has instituted Nirmal Shahar Puraskar, an initiative under the policy whichaims at carrying out ratings of cities on various parameters related to sanitation and award for excellence in perfor-mance.
The award focuses on creating healthy competition amongst the cities and mainstreaming sanitation.
This will be done through a rating system where cities will be colour-coded: Red symbolising “very bad”; black for“needs improvement”; blue for “recovering” and green “healthy city”.
The point system based on several parameters - no open defecation, disposal processes, quality of water amongothers.
A totally Sanitized Town Panchayat will be one that has achieved the outputs or milestones specified in the NationalUrban Sanitation policy, the salient features of which are as follows:
Towns must be open defecation freeMust eliminate the practice of manual scavenging and provide adequate personnel protection equipment thataddresses the safety of sanitation workers.Municipal wastewater and storm water drainage must be safely managedRecycle and reuse of treated wastewater for non potable applications should be implemented wherever possible.Solid Waste collected and disposed off fully and safelyServices to the Poor and Systems for Sustaining ResultsImproved Public Health Outcomes and Environmental standards
