Citizens' Satisfaction with WASH Services in Mumbai: A Monograph

By Dr. Lidwin Dias, Dr. Kalyani Talvelkar, Dr. Ronald Yesudhas

In the heart of Mumbai-a city of stark contrasts between soaring skyscrapers and densely packed slums-millions grapple daily with unequal access to life's most essential services: water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Citizens' Satisfaction with WASH Services in Mumbai offers a compelling exploration into these urban disparities, capturing the lived realities of slum residents in areas like Malad and Colaba.

Through the lens of the Citizen Report Card (CRC) methodology, this monograph sheds light on community perceptions, challenges, and satisfaction levels with public WASH services. More than just an assessment, it highlights the critical role of awareness, advocacy, and NGO collaboration in transforming grievance redressal from a distant hope into a practical tool for systemic change.

Rich in grassroots insights and grounded in rigorous research, this timely study is a must-read for policymakers, urban planners, social workers, and anyone committed to inclusive urban development. Discover what the citizens of Mumbai's overlooked neighborhoods truly think-and what can be done to build a more equitable future.
