This Conclave, the eighth in the series, is on the theme, “WASH Forward: Advancing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Panchayats”. It brings Government and all sector players together to deliberate, reflect, share and learn from experiences on effective delivery of WASH services by Panchayats including ways to improve resilience to future pandemics and major disruptions, including climate change.

This conclave has been organized by National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) in collaboration with Ministries of Jal Shakti, and Panchayati Raj, UNICEF, WaterAid and other development partners and organizations.
