India's First Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant

This video showcases the first successful pilot Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) in India in Devanahalli, Karnataka, set up by CDD Society and the Devanahalli Town Municipal Corporation.
There are 7,000 towns in India with a population under 1 million. If you are one of these towns, there is a 95% chance you do not have an underground sewerage system. Instead toilets in your town are connected to pits and septic tanks and the faecal sludge collected from this is likely untreated causing pollution. So what can you do? Create a Faecal Sludge Management system for your town with a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant at its centre that converts faecal sludge into compost for farmers.
This is what has been done in Devanahalli. The Devanahalli FSTP is aesthetic and effective, built at a low cost, and arrests pollution immediately. This video details the FSTP and the 5 steps required to set up decentralized Faecal Sludge Management for your city or town across India -
Assessment: Do an assessment of sanitation in your town
Land Allocation: Locate land to build the FSTP
Create Regulatory Environment: Implement regulations for Faecal Sludge Management
Financial Model: Finance and operate a low cost FSTP
Community Engagement: Get community to support the FSTP
