The Hindi Manual: Faecal Sludge Management is a Hindi-language version of the technical guidance document on Faecal Sludge Management intended for rural sanitation implementation. Its subject is the planning and management of faecal sludge generated from on-site sanitation systems and the development of appropriate treatment arrangements under SBM-G Phase-II.The corresponding manual provides guidance for district-level planning, including assessment of faecal sludge generation, village clustering, site identification and selection of suitable treatment approaches. It covers in-situ treatment and retrofitting of toilets, use of existing STPs/FSTPs, construction of new Faecal Sludge Treatment Plants, deep row entrenchment, planted drying beds and unplanted drying beds.The document is particularly useful for translating technical FSM concepts into an accessible format for Hindi-speaking programme implementers and stakeholders. It supports understanding of technology selection, engineering considerations, DPR preparation, construction, operation and maintenance of FSTPs and monitoring arrangements. The corresponding English manual specifically states that it is intended mainly for engineers, planners and district officials responsible for FSM implementation and helps in preparation of technical DPRs and FSTP construction and O&M.
