Drinking Water and Sanitation

Health and Drinking water is one of the most crucial problems of Wayand. Now days supply driven concept/model has been replaced by demand driven approach and rural mass is showing their genuine interest to co-operate with the sustainable development approaches and the new paradigm of scientific social progress.

  1. Demand driven and community managed rural drinking water supply schemes
