Abstract

Sanitation is a fundamental human right and a critical aspect of public health and well-being. In India, a nation characterized by its diverse landscape and complex socio-economic structure, the disparities in sanitation facilities between rural and urban areas have significant implications for public health, social equity, environment, and overall development. This article delves into the stark contrast in sanitation infrastructure, practices, and the resulting consequences in rural and urban India. It also explores the factors contributing to these disparities and presents potential solutions to bridge the gap and ensure a healthier and more equitable future for all.
