City Corporation Officers

The most popular understanding of sanitation in urban areas is restricted to stopping open defecation, using toilets and disposing of the waste through the Underground Sewerage System. Though the Government of Tamil Nadu, through its Operative Guidelines on Septage Management, has outlined the cost advantages for strengthening on-site sanitation systems (septic tanks and twin pits), the proof of concept for these approaches remains to be established in the perception of decision-makers and implementers. A one-day Orientation-cum-Training Programme for Promoting Fecal Sludge and Septage Management was organised for City Corporation Officers in Trichy.
