Currently CSV is the Key resource
agency for training on water and sanitation. We have experience not only in
construction of various types of individual toilets but have used our technical
expertise in community toilets for generating bio gas and electricity as per
requirement. These units have been provided in our campus at Kumarappapuram;
Ecotech Village, Boldawadi, District Hingoli, Maharashtra; Antarbharati Ashram,
Dabha, Nagpur, Maharashtra; NIRD, Hydrerabad; APARD, Hyderabad.

recycling spill water (Near Hand Pump and wells); Handling and treating Grey
water at its source (Soak Pit); Using Animal waste (Dung and Urine) in
scientific way (Bio gas and Composting); Agro waste (Composting and Bio Residue
Stove for generating heat energy) etc.
We have also assisted in creating
a clean environment by using market waste for generation of energy. CSV has
been involved in providing technical guidance to districts and the village
which have won the first prize for the SANT GADGE BABA AWARD, instituted by
Maharashtra Government (Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation).
Women,s empowerment has been our
priority and we not only have provided technical expertise for construction but
also trained women and men for construction activities (through Mason
