| Welcome
to the Environmental Sanitation
Institute. We are an NGO that has been working
since 1985 in the areas of training, construction, and supervision
of environmental sanitation campaigns across India. Our passion
to change the current poor national and global sanitation
situation stems from the Gandhian philosophy of eradication
of untouchability. The dangerous and demeaning practice of
scavenging, or manual removal of faeces, and its designation
to the lowest caste in India has been the motivation for our
mother NGO, Safai Vidyalaya to start and continue working
since 1969. |

Our
renown for expertise in low-cost sanitary technology spawned
the construction of a new training and education center for
sanitation to meet the need and demand for such programs.
Recently completed, the site will be used not only for current
training and capacity building programs, but will also expand
to providing training, workshops, and research opportunities
for professionals, NGO representatives, university and post-graduate
level students. The eco-friendly site reflects the spirit
of Gandhi as well as our dedication to creating a world free
of untouchability and harmful pollution and waste. |
