Infrastructure development meets the needs of human society effectively. It has been established through extensive research that infrastructure services represent the living standard of citizen on the global landscape. Adequate sanitation, together with good hygiene and safe water, are fundamental to good health and to social and economic development. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), substandard sanitation and inadequate access to clean drinking water are the cause of over 1.7 million deaths each year, approximately one-third of which occur in Africa and one-third in South Asia. The urgency of this public health crisis has found expression in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MGD). To improve the sanitation condition and achieve MGDs, Gov. of India has launched the National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP) in 2008 and swatch Bharat Mission in 2014. This paper talks about the existing condition and challenges of sanitation in India.
