How realistic is it that water and sanitation related MDG goals will be met?• Access to an improved water source: Given the
progress in the past one and a half decades, there is an excellent possibility that this target will be met.
• However, increasing access to improved sanitation needs an urgent programmatic response.
• Needed are area specific strategies in different states with innovative messages focusing on adverse health implications of unsafe ways of disposing children’s stools and importance of cooking under a chimney.
