Abstract | A neatly framed citation hanging on Gram Panchayat walls in Pardi village announces village receiving ‘Nirmal Gram Puraskar’ on attaining full sanitation coverage in households, schools and Aanganwadi centers and for outstanding contribution in promotion of Rural Sanitation.’ This tiny village, in Kalamb block in Yeotmal district with 508 populations, received the honor in May 2007. Now even one year after this special felicitation, the village has still maintained the hygienic status in all possible spheres. Both the government representatives agree that the Village Micro Planning process is a helpful way to bring about robust involvement of communities, an essential component for any government programme to be effective.
