Sanitation

The National Water Supply and Sanitation Programme was initiated in 1954 with the goal of providing safe water and adequate drainage to all of India. In 1972, the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme was started as a supplement. A "problem village" is defined as one lacking a safe water source within 1.6 km or one with water found at a depth of over 15 meters or containing toxic elements. The program was later renamed the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission in 1991 and reformed through projects like Swajaldhara to increase community participation. It is now part of the Bharat Nirman rural infrastructure program.
