"NIAR is focused on addressing multifarious governance challenges facing the country by generating serious policy debate through its publication activities. In pursuance of the above aim, it is bringing out a series of volumes entitled "Governance Challenges” highlighting one critical facet of governance in every volume. The instant volume – the second in its series – critically examines the problems and management options before the government on "Sanitation and Health in Rural India". It is a collection of articles and the effort is to assess the state of water, health and sanitation in rural India. The book showcases leading voices--academic, practitioners and policy-makers--from various parts of the country. It provides a platform to highlight the status of implementation, the main road blocks and present pragmatic and implementable solutions. The book is purported to act as a useful compendium for practitioners, civil society activists and policy planners. This would also be of use to the common citizens--the ultimate consumer of these services.” (jacket)
