Rezumat

This research primarily aims to examine the community participation in drinking water and sanitation programs in Banihal Tehsil as well as the role of the community in managing water and sanitation. In this section, we make an effort to investigate community involvement in water and sanitation management in the Banihal and Chanchiloo blocks of Banihal Tehsil. The water supply system is unsatisfactory for 35.27 percent of the responders in the Chanchiloo block. Compared to 27.66% in Chanchiloo, only 4.12% of Banihal block families are happy with the water system. Co-designing and co-producing WASH solutions with communities is an excellent way to include them and gain greater community acceptability and ownership.
