A Sanitary latrine forms an integral part of a VAMBAY dwelling
Unit. A system of drainage from the houses should also be
provided to avoid overflow from the kitchen, bathroom etc. with
proper linkages to the city drainage. When, however, individual
toilets are not possible or affordable, the community toilets as
part of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan will be encouraged and
established.

of trees in the entire habitation or around the individual house
should be taken up simultaneously. Trees may be planted near the
housing clusters so that, in due course, enough trees are
nearby. Such plantation can be taken up under the social
forestry programme.
Suitable Non-government Organisations with proven good track
record wherever available may be associated with the
construction of VAMBAY dwelling units. The supervision, guidance
and the monitoring of construction can be entrusted to these
non-governmental organisations. In particular, Non-governmental

sanitary latrines and appropriate technology. The selection of
