About us
Our Mission: CDD India is a not-for-profit organization, registered in 2005, that innovates, demonstrates and disseminates decentralized nature-based solutions for the conservation, collection, treatment and reuse of water resources and management of sanitation facilities. Our three-pronged mission includes: - To innovate, demonstrate and disseminate decentralized nature-based solutions for the conservation, collection, treatment and reuse of water resources and management of sanitation facilities. - To deliver technical expertise grounded within the socio-economic context, through consulting, training and capacity building of government and non-government agencies, communities and other stakeholders in the water and sanitation ecosystem. - To be a workplace of choice for talent interested in social and environmental impact. We aim to attract the best talent in the environmental and social impact space and develop future leaders for the ecosystem. Background: One of the many beauties of nature is its self-cleansing ability. Up until a few decades ago, when population sizes were manageable and cities were not bursting at their seams, letting out sewage into our waterbodies was not a dangerous move as the load was enough for nature to naturally cleanse, treating the sewage yet keeping waterbodies (rivers, lakes etc.) clean. With urbanisation and industrialisation, however, as this load has increased, natural processes have gotten disturbed; such that nature’s self-healing capacities can no longer counter the multiple onslaughts (solid waste, industrial pollution, dumping of sewage, commercial fish farming etc.) thrown at it. As a result, our waterbodies are dying (some even burning, literally). The solution lies in the setup on an aid that will take on this extra load and eventually let nature take its natural course. This is our approach for #WastewaterTreatment, #FaecalSludgeManagement and #WaterbodyRejuvenation.

Join us for an insightful webinar on July 2, 2024, from 3 PM to 4:30 PM IST! The Indian government introduced the National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) policy in 2017 to address the dependency on onsite sanitation systems and the lack of faecal sludge treatment options. With over 2,600 Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants (FSTPs) in various stages of implementation, challenges like plant overloading, land shortages, and insufficient infrastructure still persist. This webinar will explore: -Conceptual understanding and standards of Faecal Sludge and Septage Treatment Systems in India. -Planning and operational challenges of scaling nature-based solutions at the institutional and city level. -Emerging design lessons for FSTPs, focusing on infrastructure modifications for climate resilience. Featuring experts from CDD India, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi (CSE), and Ecosan Services Foundation, India (ESF). Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and engage with practitioners shaping the future of sanitation management!
