Training Programme on Planning and designing of DWWTs and FSTPs

Date:  October 10-13, 2017 

Venue: CSE – AAGC, 38 Tughlakabad Institutional Area, New Delhi


*For select target audience*

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)is capacitating the key state and non-state actors for preparation of city owned and implementable - CitySanitation Plan with effective septage/faecal sludge management(FSM) in target Ganga basin town/cities. The Centre’s initiative is supported by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (Swacch Bharat Mission – Urban, AMRUT), Ministry of Water Resources. River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (National Mission Clean Ganga – Namami Gange programme) of the Government of India in collaboration with the state governments of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

The aim is to ensure convergence of national flagship programmes(SBM, AMRUT/Smart cities, NULM, HRIDAY and Namami Gange) with state and local programmes to support city’s journey beyond ODF(includes septage/faecal sludge and sewage treatment) and ensure river pollution abatement – Aviral aur nirmal dhara. This involves active sensitization of stakeholders and engagement at all stages of the preparation of City Sanitation Plan (CSP) with a City Sanitation Task Force (CSTF) constituted in each city to endorse a common vision– with defined short, medium and long term urban sanitation programming. 

National Policy on Faecal Sludge and Septage Management and Swachh Survekshanreleased in 2017 by Government of India and commitment by Swachh Bharat Mission as well as National Mission Clean Ganga is encouraging effective FSM starting with pilot faecalsludge treatment plants, safe disposal and reuse and cost effective wastewater treatment in target cities. In order to take up above mentioned initiatives need to capacitate the target cities / state line departments, consultants and other practitioners on state of art planning, designing effective Faecal Sludge Treatment(FSTP) and Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Plants (DWWT) including understanding of the entire urban sanitation value chain. 

Aim: Capacitating key centre/state and municipal functionaries on planning, designing and implementation of faecal sludge /septage treatment plants (FSTPs) and cost effective decentralized wastewater treatment plants (DWWTs).
