Indian banks and financial institutions are considered the pillars of economic growth. They have immense potential to influence environmental sustainability and bridge the gaps between development and environmental degradation through their project financing. However, in recent years, this sector has faced difficult times due to growing numbers of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) or bad loans. One of the factors responsible for this is inadequate Environment and Social (E&S) risks management.
The Guide will act as a ready reckoner for ULBs of 131 flagship cities (identified for implementing effective FSSM) and other urban centres across India for implementing Faecal Sludge Management. Joint Secretary SBM and Mission Director Praveen Prakash (IAS) agreed to send out the practitioner's guide to all State SBM and AMRUT directors as well as flagship ULBs across country. Ministry also requested CSE to translate the guide in Hindi for wider circulation and uptake.
