Public health is a matter of prime concern for all municipal bodies in the State. And in the scheme of things, sanitary health inspectors play an important role in protecting public health as well as the environment in a multitude of ways. Each civic body banks heavily on its health inspectors to deal with public health issues ranging from safety of drinking water to food safety and sanitary conditions. That is why the Sanitary Inspectors’ Diploma course offered by the All-India Institute of Local Self-Government (AIILSG) has become a much-sought-after programme.
