About the Dialogue

The Centre for Science and Environment is organizing the Anil Agarwal Dialogue 2013: Excreta Does Matter, on urban India’s water supply and waste management challenges. The two-day Dialogue will deliberate on critical issues on how cities will get affordable and sustainable water and waste systems that can supply to all and take back and treat the sewage of all.

The Dialogue is an annual series, named after Anil Agarwal, environmentalist and founder of CSE. Anil Agarwal strongly believed in the power of research, discussion and debate to drive policy.

Background

Today, all cities are losing the battle to treat sewage. As a result, we are killing our rivers and waterbodies, which have become receptacles of sewage and garbage. Cities are impinging on the rural areas, resulting in increased tension and conflicts over sourcing. We hope to deliberate on these issues to look for answers.

The water and waste and pollution sector is extremely truncated and disparate. This Dialogue will help bring the community together and the organizers hope this will become an important event on water in India that brings together people from the government, NGOs, donors, private sector and academia.

Fee

Participants from non-government organizations - Rs. 1100
Participants from government and private sector - Rs 2000
