Report on Lessons Learnt and Outcomes of the Sharing Workshop on CLTS held on 26th May 2006 at Kalyani which can claim to be the first place where CLTS was successfully used in an urban context.
Kalyani is a planned town near Kolkata with a population of 82,000. It is seen as a city ‘made for middle class people’. However, the 52 slums around the city house almost 50% of the city’s population. Many of the slums’ inhabitants are migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. Whilst some of the slums are more recent, some are as old as 50 or 60 years, and the majority have no toilet facilities.
A three day CLTS workshop was organized by Knowledge Links in Alibag Municipal Area of Raigad district in Maharashtra from the 26th to 28th August 2008. The workshop aimed at exposing the participants to the concept and practice of CLTS through hands-on experience. Process of CLTS triggering in an urban context was the main focus of the programme. Solid waste management was underlined as the main sanitation concern in Alibag town.
