3. Open defecation is the human practice of
defecating outside (in the open environment)
rather than into a toilet. People may choose
fields, bushes, forests, ditches, canals or other
open space for defecation. They do so because
either they do not have a toilet at home or due to
traditional cultural practices.
4. ● POPULATION AFFECTED:
About 892 million people, or 12 percent of the
global population, practiced open defecation in
2016.[2] Seventy-six percent (678 million) of the
892 million people practicing open defecation in
the world live in just seven countries. India is the
country with the highest number of people
practicing open defecation, around 525 million
people
5. ● AFFECTS ON HEALTH :
Open defecation poses a serious threat to the
health of children in India. The practice is the main
reason India reports the highest number of
diarrhoeal deaths among children under-five in the
world. Every year, diarrhoea kills 1,17,285 children
under five in India. Children weakened by frequent
diarrhoea episodes are more vulnerable to
malnutrition, stunting, and opportunistic infections
such as pneumonia.
6. About 38 per cent of children in India suffer from
some degree of malnutrition. Diarrhoea and worm
infection are two major health conditions that
affect school-age children impacting their learning
abilities.
7. AFFECT ON PRIVACY :
Open defecation also puts at risk the dignity of
women in India. Women feel constrained to relieve
themselves only under the cover of dark for
reasons of privacy to protect their dignity.
Open defecation exposes women to the danger of
physical attacks and encounters such as snake
bites.
9. Defecating in the open is a very ancient practice. In ancient times,
there were more open spaces and less population pressure on
land. It was believed that defecating in the open causes little
harm when done in areas with low population, forests, or
camping type situations. With development and urbanization,
open defecating started becoming a challenge and thereby an
important public health issue, and an issue of human
dignity.Open defecation perpetuates the vicious cycle of disease
and poverty and is widely regarded as an affront to personal
dignity.The countries where open defecation is most widely
practised have the highest numbers of deaths of children under
the age of five, as well as high levels of undernutrition, high
levels of poverty, and large disparities between the rich and poor.

The Government of India (GoI) has launched multiple
sanitation policies across rural India. The Central
Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) in 1986 was
formulated with the objective of providing for 80
percent subsidy for construction of individual
sanitary latrines for BPL households on demand
basis.
12. The programme includes elimination of
open defecation, conversion of unsanitary
toilets to pour flush toilets, eradication of
manual scavenging, municipal solid waste
management and bringing about a
behavioural change in people regarding
healthy sanitation practices.
13. The mission aims to cover 1.04 crore households,
provide 2.5 lakh community toilets, 2.6 lakh public
toilets, and a solid waste management facility in
each town. Under the programme, community toilets
will be built in residential areas where it is difficult to
construct individual household toilets. Public toilets
will also be constructed in designated locations such
as tourist places, markets, bus stations, railway
stations, etc. The programme will be implemented
over a five-year period in 4,401 towns.
14. In new Delhi, A survey was conducted of over
40,000 citizens…….
• only 21 per cent citizens had found their city
cleaner one year after the initiative was
launched.
• Twenty-three percent of citizens said
availability of public toilets had improved,
against only 12 percent who had found an
improvement a year after the drive began
15. Fifty-percent felt civic sense awareness was
the most important driver for improving
cleanliness, while 40 percent felt municipal
engagement and effectiveness was needed
for better cleanliness.
Responding to the question on the availability
of public toilets, a whopping 64 per cent said
there had been no change, while 13 percent
took the can't say route.
16. Fifty-two per cent of citizens find their city
cleaner 600 days after Prime Minister
Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat
(Clean India) initiative, a countrywide survey
has found. But the public is not satisfied
with the availability of public toilets.
17. Awareness in urban regions
• People can be educated and informed about
“why” to use proper defecation
system. This can be done by regular advertising on
web, newspapers and local news channels.
• They can be introduced to the current Govt.
schemes for making domestic and public toilets
with less cost by utilizing these schemes.
18. In Rural Areas
• building toilet in rural area is one of major target
of Govt. so we can make people aware by activities
like street plays, posters etc.
• We can increase the social acceptability among
village people on habit of using toilets rather than
defecating in open.
19. The print media can be used to aware people. We
can choose most popular newspapers to reach as
many people as possible.
You-tube and other online platforms are also very
effective way of communication .Information about
proper defecation system can be made available on
such platforms.
20. Other modes like FM channels , wall paintings and
calenders can be used to reach more people.
21. • Radio can effective way to provide information about
proper defecation system.
• At the 5th National Community Radio Sammelan, the
secretary of information and broadcasting said that
emerging ideas meant for welfare of masses, attract
association and participation if we communicate
through mediums like Community Radio.
22. The government feels it is better to "counsel
and interact" rather then just reject the
applications out rightly because Community
Radio is more of a social movement.
23. 638 million people in
India do not use toilets.
This is more than half
the total population.
Polio, Diarrhea,
Cholera: these are few
of the infectious
diseases caused by
poor sanitation.
Even in this time where
we are focusing on the
development of our
cities and urban area
there is a part of society
which is lagging back
and nobody is taking
care of that.
24. This is the most
basic picture
showing the
statistics of
Swachh Bharat
mission and
what's the impact
after 2 years.
Statistics
25. India’s Ministry of Statistics and
Programme Implementation (MOSPI) has
released the Swachhata Status Report,
2016, which states that the usage of
toilets is 98.8 per cent in urban areas in
2016.
In urban India, the percentage of persons
practising open defecation was reduced
to 7.5 per cent in 2016.
Of a target of 2.5 million household toilets
in urban areas by March 2016, 24% (0.6
million) have been constructed.
The graph here shows data for year
2015.
26.
27. Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban), 115 cities
have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF)
till date. 22.60 lakh individual household toilets and
93,985 seats of Community/ Public toilets have
been constructed against the Mission period target
of 1.04 crore and 5.07 lakh respectively. Out of total
82,609 no. of wards, 39,376 no. of wards have been
covered with 100% door-to-door collection of
municipal solid waste.
It has changed the mindset of the people. Now
when throwing garbage at the road or at the public
places, people think about keeping the area clean.
28.
29.
30. In what is probably the first of its kind incident, the
Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Madhya Pradesh
government has ordered the weighing of doors of
as many as 42,000 toilets that were constructed
under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India
Mission) in Guna district, according to a report by
Times of India.
The scam was done in the weight of the toilet doors.
According to government guideline the weight of the
door should be 14 Kg but when checked the weight
of the doors were found to be 4kg only. The scam
was approximately of 2 crores.
