This report examines relationship between cleanliness, sewage
and health of people. The quality of cleanliness and sewage is an
important factor as it influences hygiene and therefore the public
health. The purpose of the report is to decide whether sewage and
cleanliness are in direct relation to health of people or not.
The study was conducted by taking a sample of 180 students of
Army Institute of management, Kolkata. For the study hostel was
divided into different barracks and on the basis of questionnaire
filled by 180 students living in those barracks, the data was
collected and analysed using chi-square, where :
Null hypothesis - THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONDITION
OF SEWAGE & CLEANLINESS AND THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.
And
Alternative hypothesis - THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
CONDITION OF SEWAGE & CLEANLINESS AND THE HEALTH OF THE
PEOPLE.
The result of this test showed that the chi square calculated is
greater than the tabulated value of chi square. Hence, the null
hypothesis is rejected. This means there is a relationship between
the condition of sewerage & cleanliness and the health of the
people. Recommendations are also given for improvement in the
current cleanliness and sewage condition at the end of report which
will ultimately improve the health condition of students living in
Army Institute of Management, Kolkata.

PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of the Research was to study the condition of the
people of society in response to the sewage and cleanliness of the
blocks in which they live. This research was also important to
check whether people living in good conditions have good health or
not. This could also help the administration to come to the point
that they can do some improvement in the living conditions of the
people.
The other purpose was to know how many people are working for
the cleanliness of the rooms and how many people are exactly living
and this could help us to know how many more people can be allotted
to the blocks for the cleanliness purpose.

DATA COLLECTION
Our Key Responsibility Area for the data collection was the
Students at Army Institute of Management, Kolkata. The data
collected was through few questions in the form of a
Questionnaire.
We approached the students of this institute on a personal
basis. There were around 6 different blocks in the Institute each
comprising of 10 rooms having 3 members in each room.
The questionnaire consisted of questions relating to:Problems of
sewage
Steps taken by institute to avoid these problems & to
improve cleanliness
No of students suffering from diseases.
How much satisfied are the students with the efforts of the
Institute??
Any suggestions from their side to have a healthy
surrounding.
All this data was used for the hypothesis testing analysis using
CHI-Square Test to determine if there existed a relationship
between the condition of sewage and health of the people.

DATA ANALYSIS USING HYPOTHESIS TESTING
TO KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONDITION OF SEWAGE &
CLEANLINESS AND THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.
NULL HYPOTHESIS: THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONDITION
OF SEWAGE & CLEANLINESS AND THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.
ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
CONDITION OF SEWAGE & CLEANLINESS AND THE HEALTH OF THE
PEOPLE.

Sum of (O-E) ^2/E= chi Square= 19.268
Chi square tabulated for1 degree of freedom= 3.84
Since the chi square calculated > chi square tabulated,
therefore the null hypothesis is rejected.
It means there is a relationship between the condition of sewage
& cleanliness and the health of the people.

RECOMMENDATION
In improving the sewer system the following things can be kept
in mind, these improvements include
sewer main replacement and repairs
sewer lining and the installation of relief sewers
All of these improvements are intended to reduce flooding and
betterment of health of the people.
Sewer repairs include replacement of deteriorated sewer mains
and defective sewer service connections.
Repairs focuses on sewers which shows signs of collapse,
excessive cracking, voids or gaps between pipes, and faulty service
connections. Often
times, sewer main repairs are necessary to prepare a sewer pipe
for sewer lining.
Sewer lining is a non-invasive technique to rehabilitate sewers
by eliminating infiltration, structural defects and root intrusion.
Sewer lining does not require
excavation or disruption to traffic. It is a cost-effective
process.
Moreover we have to make sure that the sewer are properly
covered and are cleaned time and again by authorities.

CONCLUSION
Based upon the analysis run on 180 students divided in 6 blocks
which were further divided on the basis of cleanliness and the
level of sewage which is given below:-
People sufferingpeople notTotal

diseases
Good sewerage3280112and cleanliness
Poor sewerage and422668cleanliness
After the analysis on the basis of chi-square, the following
conclusions were made:-
People living with good sewage and clean conditions are less
prone to diseases and vice-versa.
This also means that sewage and cleanliness has a direct
relationship with health of people.
Therefore, importance for maintaining good living conditions as
far as cleanliness and sewage are concerned should be given high
priority.
Because performance depends directly on the health condition of
the person as it will reduce absenteeism which is a very vital
factor for performance of a student.
