Health & Hygiene Study

The Swajal Project adopts an integrated approach, seeking to integrate the water supply service delivery with environmental sanitation, by developing beneficiary awareness of the linkages between health and sanitation. In order to assess the health and hygiene benefits accrued to the rural population through the interventions of this project, the Department of Community Medicine of the King George Medical College was first hired to conduct a base-line study of these benefits in August-September 2000. Subsequently, they conducted repeat studies in during the same period in 2001 and 2002 to gauge whether the benefits continued to be realized by the communities in the same set of sample villages. The results of the "First Repeat Study" are hereby supplied for your information.
 

Multi Sectoral Approach to Health Project

Despite clinical interventions huge loss of life due to social malice like poverty, ignorance and other socio-economic causes continues. This only reinforces the premise that purely clinical interventions in health programmes are not enough. The interventions have necessarily to be multi-sectoral to initially prevent and subsequently eliminate disease. Hence, a pilot project was envisaged to test this approach in the States of U.P. and Uttaranchal.
