QUESTION
Expert opinion on model villages for writing an article on water and sanitation in India

Dear India Water Portal - Team,

I work as a volunteer for the German NGO United for Hope. We work primarily in the field of sanitation, namely toilet building and I am currently writing an article for the U.N. news agency IPS on the sanitation problem in India and our organization.

Therefore, I was wondering, if you could tell us your opinion on the concept of model villages like Punsari or Tirmasahun (www.unitedforhope.org)? Do you consider them an important step towards fighting India's sanitation problem? I would like to integrate the opinion of an Indian NGO working in the field of water and sanitation on the sanitation issue in India. It would be great, if we could get in touch with one of your spokesmen. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Britta Schmitz
