During the year, HDFC’s support has primarily been towards two aspects in this sector (i) programmes for effective watershed management in water deficient districts of rural Maharashtra and (ii) provision of clean and safe drinking water through community based water centres and dispensing units in the slums of New Delhi. HDFC remains committed to the cause of improving sanitation facilities in both urban slums and rural villages. The Corporation has expanded its support to existing partner organisations having domain expertise and the ability to successfully complete projects on time. During the year, HDFC has supported sanitation programmes across multiple locations with the goal to build ~ 3,000 household toilets over the next two years.
