Greetings from Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi.
CSE is organizing a two days virtual national level workshop on mainstreaming management of faecal sludge at district level. The workshop will provide insights into the district level planning for rural faecal sludge management. It will consist of presentations and discussions on various topics related to treatment and safe reuse of solid and liquid waste from toilets.
India has built its toilets – but that is only a fraction of the work done. The country now has to begin the second phase of its journey on sanitation – that of meeting the challenge of disposal of the massive quantities of solid and liquid waste generated by these new toilets that were built in the first phase of Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen).
The workshop has been designed for Swachh Bharat Mission officials involved in district level planning for faecal sludge management. The workshop is fully funded and will accept nominations from state governments on a first come first serve basis. 
The training workshop on “Mainstreaming Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) at District level” will be conducted on November 29-30, 2021. The time schedule for this virtual training will be 10 AM to 1 PM (3 hours) on both these days.

 
The training workshop will cover the following aspects of Faecal Sludge Management: 

1. Need for safe sanitation – issues and challenges
2. Overview of onsite sanitation systems – in-situ treatment and retrofitting
3. Overview of faecal sludge treatment technologies
4. Reuse options for faecal sludge
5. Legal, institutional and financial frameworks for safe sanitation
6. Broad outlines for district-level planning
