Brief overview of SDGs
and their importance
 SDGs are a set of 17 goals established by the United Nations in
2015 to guide global efforts towards sustainable development by
2030.

 The SDGs cover a range of interconnected issues, including

poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water
and sanitation, etc.

 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our

world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality,
protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice
and prosperity.
CLEAN WATER AND
SANITATION​

 This goal focuses on ensuring

access to clean water and sanitation
for all

 Access to clean water and

sanitation is crucial for human
health and well-being, as well as for
sustainable economic and social
development

 Around 2.2 billion people

worldwide lack access to safe
drinking water, and 4.2 billion
people lack safely managed
sanitation services.
Overview of the water
and sanitation situation
in India

 India is one of the world's most populous

countries, and providing access to clean water
and sanitation for its population has been a
major challenge. 

 Access to clean water is a major issue in India,

with nearly 163 million people lacking access
to clean drinking water. This lack of access is
compounded by the fact that water resources
in India are often contaminated with pollutants

 Sanitation is another major challenge in India,

with around 522 million people practicing
open defecation. This is due to a lack of access
to toilets and proper sanitation. Poor sanitation
contributes to the spread of diseases, including
diarrhea

SANITATION FACILITIES IN INDIA, INCLUDING ACCESS
TO TOILETS AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS:

Sanitation facilities in India are inadequate, and a significant

proportion of the population lacks access to basic toilets and
sewage systems.

As per the latest data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban
Affairs, about 66% of Indian households have access to
improved sanitation facilities,

a significant proportion of the population still practices open

defecation, especially in rural areas.

In terms of sewage systems, only around 30% of India's

households are connected to sewage networks, and the rest rely
on on-site sanitation systems such as septic tanks or pit latrines.

PROGRESS MADE SO FAR IN IMPROVING WATER
AND SANITATION IN INDIA:

• the Jal Jeevan Mission has made considerable progress in

providing piped water connections to rural households. As of
March 2021, over 4.5 crore households have been provided
with piped water connections, and the mission aims to
provide tap connections to all rural households by 2024.

• In terms of sanitation, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has

resulted in the construction of millions of toilets across the
country, and India was declared open defecation free (ODF)
in October 2019

Water quality issues in India include contamination from chemicals, pollutants, and
microorganisms, leading to various water-borne diseases

Sanitation facilities in India are inadequate. 

Conclusion
The Jal Jeevan Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan are two major initiatives launched by the
Indian government 

Poor water and sanitation have significant health, economic, and environmental impacts,
including the spread of water-borne diseases, loss of productivity, and pollution

Achieving SDG 6 in India requires the involvement of different stakeholders, including the
government, private sector, civil society, and individuals

Partnerships and collaboration
