Abstract	India is now the most populated country in the world with nearly 18% of human population but it has only just 4% of the world’s fresh water resources. It is estimated that more than 2 lakh people die due to lack of access to safe water and in future nearly 60 crore people may face water shortage in India. According to Global Burden Of Disease study in 2016, the per person disease burden due to unsafe water and sanitation was forty times higher than China and 12 times higher than Sri Lanka for a person living in India. A total mismanagement of waste water and lack of separate liquid and solid waste management in many small towns is clogging public sanitation in the countryside and has given rise to uncontrolled water borne diseases and now it is exacerbated due to climate change. Small towns in India are more vulnerable to harm due to climate change, Government negligence, poor administration and bad public sanitation. Most Government measures are limited to only big cities and highly urbanized areas. This harms the development of Indian small towns where both present and future of India lies. This paper focuses on the difficulties, solutions and initiatives primarily in Indian small towns. The research area which has been chosen is a town in the state of West Bengal, Nadia district, Ranaghat sub-division, named the culturally historical town of Santipur. We will see the current problems, the measures and many initiatives taken along with success and future recommendation. We will also study how it affects economically and the role of the Government, public and the society as a whole.
