Rajasthan has become the second State to have an MoU between
ULBs and GPs regarding the use of an urban FSM facility for co-

treatment of faecal sludge of villages falling within a 15 km radius
of the existing urban FSM facility. Similarly, the new proposed STP/

FSTPs will be constructed with such extended capacity so that
they can be utilized for any further possible convergence for co-

treatment of faecal sludge generated in rural areas.
