Feedback
The exposure visits to Bangalore, Chennai and Pondicherry were extremely elating and meaningful in the sense that innovative way, decentralised, low cost (both capital and maintenance) wastewater treatment system are successfully working which appeared to have immense potential to be replicated. I personally feel that problem of waste management better be managed as shown at Devanhalli n Auroville.

The exposure visits were eye opener in the field of sanitation, it has given us opportunity to explore the possibility in this field, we have seen that, how medium category municipality can manage their waste. In all it was a great learning experience and I feel that we have to relook each and every aspect of traditional way of urban development .
