The National Institute of Urban Affairs, Delhi (NIUA) in association with TARU Leading Edge, IRC and Ennovent, has initiated a project titled ‘Innovation Hub for Urban WASH Solutions’.

The project, supported and funded by USAID, aims to promote the development of scalable solutions for urban water, sanitation and hygiene in India within the national, regional, state and city framework.
