Hi Elisabeth,

Conclave as per my understanding of the event is used inter-changeably with conference here. It is an open event with two days of discussions on sanitation.

Hi Nitya,
Just a small question, what is a "conclave" in this context? Is it an Indian English term for conference? Just wondering.

Dear Mr. Jacob,

I have gone through the Agenda Outline. It, no doubt, gives excellent program. I hope childhood stunting, a major problem in India and Pakistan, is also included in the program.

Will it be possible for you to share the papers and presentations, after the event is over, through this forum, for the interested people?

Regards,

F H Mughal

Dear all,

The India Sanitation Conclave is rapidly approaching. This will be a platform for deliberating on the various themes around corporate engagement in sanitation across India, from policy and regulatory enablers to best practices emulation and the business opportunity through the B-U-M-T value chain. It further envisages the scope of partnerships in the rural context along with battling the FSM challenge in the urban setups. Outreach through faith based organizations and the scope of skill development in sanitation are other areas to be deliberated in the sessions.
