It has been realised during study that propper supply chain system is the main hurdle in inplemnting the TSC program in the state. Keeping it in to the view WASH office Amit Mehrotra visited with all 8 DSS and State Coordinator to Ahmadabad to understand the production know how and supply chain system of the sanitary goods specially rural pan. We visited Ahmadabad because it is the only place where the production of rural pan is high (UP is not producing rural pan). There we met Ishwar Bhai Patel and stayed in his campus. We visited the factory and met number of suppliers to understand the economics and quality of rural pan. In fact first time visited by Air. This was such a great experience to understand the supply chain system of sanitary goods.
