collaboration among young Researchers. Theme – ‘When nature calls’
The Organizing committee aims at setting a
platform for all the budding Scientists and
Researchers to present their real-time work and
share their views and aspects related to the theme
of the Conference. The Organizing committee
is gearing up for an exciting and informative
Conference program including plenary Lectures,
Symposia, Workshops on a variety of topics,

– to focus on nature-based sanitation
solutions.
We must build toilets and
sanitation systems that work in harmony with our
environment. When nature calls, we have to listen
and act.
Background
The world is not on track to reach Sustainable
Development Goal 6: to ensure availability and
sustainable management of sanitation and water
for all by 2030.
The impact of exposure to human faeces on
this scale has a devastating impact upon public
health, living conditions, nutrition, education and
economic productivity across the world.
SDG 6 aims to ensure that everyone has a safe
toilet and that no-one practises open defecation by
2030. Failure to achieve this goal risks the entire
Agenda for Sustainable Development.
