Down To Earth has received the first Sanitation Awards 2017 launched by the India Sanitation Coalition and FICCI. As the winner in the "media for sanitation" category, the award is recognition of our reportage on sanitation in the last 25 years. There were more than 100 applicants in the different categories. Down To Earth has always reported on sanitation as major public health issue instead of just counting the number of toilets being built in the country. Our reportage includes a cutting edge analysis of the coverage of sanitation in the constituencies of union cabinet ministers. Also, we were the first to investigate the challenge of cleaning Ganga due to building millions of toilets in river basin without first devising a proper waste disposal system.
