Sanitation in India leaves much to be desired. Open sewers and clogged drains are a way of life in cities. This helps mosquitoes to breed, leading to diseases like dengue and chikungunya.

People have no civic sense. They spit on roads. In many buildings, the walls are seen to be spattered with betel leaf stains. Urinating and defecating in public are common. Trash overflows onto the streets as people just leave their garbage on the roads. Stray dogs poop everywhere. This is the typical scenario in most Indian cities.

It is a shame that educated people too indulge in such behavior. Littering seems to be a national pastime. The need for cleanliness has to be inculcated at a young age. Parents should teach children to preserve their surroundings cleanly. Schools should conduct classes in civic sense. Fines should be strictly enforced.

___"SHORT ESSAY ON SANITATION"_______

Sanitation refers to all conditions that create unhealthy conditions, especially with regard to direct and infection and specifically to the drainage and disposal for sewage and refuse from houses. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines sanitation as the means of collecting and disposing of extra and community liquid wastes in a hygienic way so as not to endanger the health of individuals and the community as a whole. Thus, the basic objective of all the sanitation programmes should be disposal of human excreta and community wastages without endangering the public life. The problem of proper hygiene and sanitation has increased manifold due to higher rates of population growth leading to insanitary conditions. The other limitations in providing the adequate sanitation condition are lack of funds, lack of trained personnel and lack of knowledge about acceptable alternative technologies. All these factors contribute to lowering the satisfactory sanitation service level. Disasters worsen the already inadequate sanitation situation. Certain special measures must be adopted to improve the sanitation condition and to check any spread of epidemic in the aftermath of the disasters like food, cyclone, earthquake etc. This unit deals with the available sanitation means and how to improve the hygienic and sanitary conditions in the emergency situation
