The Health and Sanitation Crisis in India

India is a country of prosperity with many possibilities as well as the United States. The country is advancing with technology, it is a major tourist attraction all over the world. India is a developing and developing country, but the living environment and the living rate across India are changing dramatically because of the lack of resources for health and sanitation in the slums of the city. Lack of health media can cause serious health problems for adults and children in these slums. When analyzing health, we can understand the cause of diseases found in this country and connect it to what is mentioned in the classroom as "eternal beauty" of the first world.

India is at the center of the global health crisis and 638 million people are unable to use the toilet and they have no choice but to carry out the defecation of the public. According to the Indian Drinking Water Ministry, about 100,000 tons of waste are left in the field along Indian roads and powerful rivers every day. Therefore, outdoor drainage is the most commonly used waste disposal system in rural and urban areas. This system is not useful for proper treatment, and about 37% of Indian sewage is untreated. 75% of the country's available surface water is contaminated with human, agricultural or industrial waste due to the combination of untreated sewerage lines and water bodies and public drainage.

Hygiene is a sanitary means to prevent people from being exposed to waste to promote health. Examples of waste that can cause health problems are feces, solid waste, domestic waste water and industrial waste. Hygiene prevention can be done by simple personal hygiene, such as using a septic tank sewage system or washing hands with soap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitation). The joint WHO and UNICEF water and sanitation surveillance program defines hygiene improvements as a connection to the public sewer system, connection to the purification system, flushing of the toilet, simple pit toilet and ventilation improvement pit toilet. No sanitation improvement, public toilet or communal toilet, outdoor toilet, bucket toilet, http: //www.wssinfo.org/en/122_definitions.html

The Indian government started implementing the Indian Comprehensive Health Campaign (TSC) in 1999 and restructured the rural health program. Nirmal Gram Puraskar began as a health program in June 2003 to promote a comprehensive health campaign. It was started in 2003 by the Government of India and is an incentive program to provide comprehensive sanitation management through Panchayat, neighborhoods and districts, maintain a clean environment and open villages without excretion.
