Adhyatmik Foundation Inc with it's sister organization Sulabh International Social Service Organization has practiced the important ongoing project " Mission Sanitation".

It has developed a scavenging free two-pit pour flush toilet; safe and hygienic on-site human waste disposal technology.  This is a new concept of maintenance and construction of pay-and-use public toilets with bath, laundry and urinal facilities and generations of biogas and biofertilizer  produced from excreta-based plants, low maintenance waste water treatment plants of medium capacity for institutions and industries.

The United Nations center for Human Settlements has recognized Sulabh's cost effective and appropriate sanitation system as "Urban Best Practice" at the Habitat -II conference held at Istanbul, Turkey in June 1996.  The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations has granted Special Consultative Status to Sulabh in recognition of its outstanding service to mankind and In July 2008 honored the work of the Mission.

400,000 children  under the age of 5 die in India each year from diarrhea and from the lack of sanitation infrastructure.

Sulabh has set up a network of centres all over the country to train boys and girls from poor families, especially scavengers so that they can compete in the open job market.
