Abstract

Public sanitation, as a health hazard, is one of the most critical discrepancies faced by the nation in today’s time. Also hygiene and cleanliness is another critical aspect. According to the research about 1/7th of world’s population still defecated in the open, of which 60% lives in INDIA. Finding these requisites in a local area can be quite tricky as majority of people are oblivious of their location & also they are not made available on any navigation application and/or tool. According to a UN study on how to improve sanitation globally, more people have access to mobile phone than to a toilet. In this paper, an attempt is been made to provide a tool (WaSH services) that will aid in finding the basic sanitation services according to proximity of our location for effective and timely assistance and a way encouraging people to be a part of “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” for the people of Nagpur. WaSH services is comprised of three domains Drinking Water Index (DWI), Public Washroom Index (PWI) and Garbage disposal Index (GDI). Every index containing the information of the WaSH service, their location and route from your current location.
