Abstract
With the growth of urbanization is increasing rapidly in the world, the expanding deprived urban areas increasing the exclusion and disparity in access to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in settlement people. As part of its global agenda to campaign for the progressive realization of human rights, to work to meet their basic needs and to extend their opportunities to achieve their full potential (UNICEF), 2019, p.7). Sanitation is one of the key factors of the quality in human life. It is significantly effect on public health, environment and dignity.

Under AMRUT, 55 water supply projects (USD388 million), 25 sewerage projects (USD120 million), seven storm water drains (USD53.8 million) and nine parks at (USD14 million) are un- der implementation.
