Germany will provide €4 million, apart from services of international experts, to help the Ministry of Urban Development to implement sanitation programmes in urban areas of the country.
India and Germany on Tuesday signed an ‘Implementation Agreement on Support to National Urban Sanitation Policy’, a statement from the Ministry said.
The agreement, which is valid for three years (till March, 2017), seeks to promote capacity development in the urban sanitation sector, formulation of state and city sanitation policies and support states for technical innovation, the statement added.
The focus of the tie-up will be on enabling effective measures against discharge of untreated waste water into surface and ground water.
