Workshop on water quality and sanitation
THRISSUR: A two-day state-level workshop on the 7th Millennium Development Goal (MDG-7) – water quality and sanitation service delivery – will begin here on December 7.
Talking to reporters here on Friday, District Collector V K Baby said the main objective of the workshop organised jointly by the UNICEF, the district administration and Thrissur unit of ‘Mazhapolima’ is to take stock of the progress made by Kerala in achieving MDG- 7.
He said as compared to other states in the country, Kerala’s achievement towards the goal is considerably better.
However, there are glaring slippages in the delivery of quality water and sanitation.
He said the findings of the workshop would go a long way in achieving the MDGs not only by the state but also for other states in the country.
