The study was conducted in three villages of Mewat area viz.. Ghasera, Kalwari and Kaliaka to study the sanitation practices and safe drinking water facilities. Hundred women of low, and middle socio-economic groups were assessed. The sanitary and hygienic conditions were very poor in these villages. People were quite ignorant about personal and environmental hygiene. Main source of drinking water were tap and hand pump. Water was generally stored in earthen pots, plastic and metal buckets. The rural women were educated regarding the importance of sanitation, use of safe drinking water and methods of water purification with special emphasis on - Janta Water Filter through lectures, campaigns and trainings. Results revealed a significant increase in knowledge. The educational status of women was strongly correlated with the adoption of technology. Among these, twenty interested women were selected for action research. The acceptability of Janta Water Filter was quite high but was adopted by only 55 per cent families due to some constraints. Local availability of the critical input i.e. water filter candle was the major constraint. This technology has good scope if popularized through extensive education programme. Exposure to health education programme enabled the beneficiaries to acquire certain desirable health habits significantly (P<= 0.01) in daily living
