In India, women's self-help groups (SHGs) have been playing a crucial role in improving the sanitation services in cities. Here are few ways how cities in India have incorporated women SHGs into their sanitation services:

• Women SHGs have been actively involved in community-led total sanitation programs, where they educate and raise awareness among people about safe sanitation practices.
• Women SHGs have been instrumental in constructing household toilets and maintaining them.
• They have been involved in managing community toilets by taking care of cleaning, collecting user fees, and ensuring their maintenance.
• Women SHGs have also been involved in waste management activities like segregation of waste at source, composting, and preparing organic manure.
• They have also been involved in promoting the use of low-cost and sustainable sanitation technologies like eco-san toilets, which help in proper waste disposal without polluting the environment.

The involvement of women SHGs in sanitation services has not only improved the overall hygiene and sanitation conditions but also helped in empowering women by giving them a sense of ownership and control over the management of sanitation facilities in their communities.
