The WHO estimates that 10 per cent of all diseases in the world each year are related to water quality and access issues, which could be prevented. The book based on a study of three Indian states—Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, looks at the catalytic role of village level institutions such as Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSCs) and Village Health and Sanitation Committees (VHSCs) in improving the water and sanitation facilities of the communities. The positive health outcomes largely depend on how various institutions, processes and programmes interact with one another. The volume also looks at the health outcomes of individuals and households and their linkage with access to water and sanitation facilities as well as their health and hygiene practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearchers working on health issues, in particular, on water and sanitation and its effects on health; NGOs working in the area of health and hygiene; and policy makers at various levels (centre, state and district level) will be interested in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This book, based on extensive research in three states (AP, MP and Odisha) is very timely and highlights the status of rural sanitation in India.
