Purpose of application
To study, address and model one of the inadequate and
longstanding problems of public
systems "sanitation" in India.
Proper sanitation and final disposal of sewage is a longstanding
problem which affects health
of people in India. Only 31% of people have access to proper
sanitation
which accounts both urban and rural population in India. Among
rural population has its
biggest counterpart. Open defecation is widely practised in
rural India which directly affects
health status and signifies poor living quality of people and it
also affects women safety in
country to a large extent. In spite of various government
schemes of urbanization and proper
sanitation to rural people have been implemented in India, still
country faces huge problem
and proper access to sanitation still a dream of rural India. I
strongly believe if mobile phones
can enter into every Indian house including rural people. The
proper awareness and education
among rural people to follow good sanitation procedures and
proper policies by government
is the main problem in India. And also its a social
responsibility for every citizen to make his
country clean and to create awareness among other citizens.
Improper sanitation does not
affect rural people alone. It indirectly affects every citizen
of India and also plays a role in
global health status of people. Evolution of Superbugs such as
MRSA, NDM-1 and many
antibiotic resistance is already a big threat currently facing
by medical society that affects
every people due to polluted environmental impact. Extensive
study on such adverse effects
and modelling new technology and study on techno-socio-economic
policies followed by
India will only help to overcome this issue. This is the main
objective that attracted me to
join CTARA and it creates a platform to contribute my technical
and social skills to Rural
development. And am currently a entrepreneur running my own
Medical Coding institute for
science graduates in Chennai after two years of work experience
in healthcare domain.
providing training and placement in healthcare domains. So I
strongly believe my
entrepreneurship skills along with my core knowledge and
interdisciplinary skills will also
play a vital role in addressing social issues. Water scarcity
and no proper access for water
supply, and poor knowledge about sanitary construction remains
dark side in rural areas.
Study on new technologies in sanitary constructions such as eco
sanitation and reduced water
flush for sanitary purpose using vacumarator pumps with help of
linked community toilets
will help to avoid construction of individual septic tanks. And
also study on socio economic
feasibility of new techniques for waste water treatment such as
Soil biotechnology and
DEWATS. And also study on Biogas production from human waste due
to feasibility of
carbon nitrogen ratio which is already installed successfully in
many parts of world and in
