Abstract |
Although school water supply, sanitation and hygiene education is an important part of the rural water and sanitation sector, it has been a neglected area in India, until recently, largely because it lacked a clear institutional home. Few schools had adequate provision for girls, boys and staff members, both in terms of water supply and sanitation. Hygiene education was not part of the curriculum. This may have undermined the quality of education received by school children, especially for girls. |
