In a major boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious Swachh Bharat Abhiyan scheme, 77 per cent of houses in village areas have toilets. Of those 77 percent households, over 93 percent have shunned the habit of open defecation and started using toilets. This was revealed in the annual rural sanitation survey NARSS under the World Bank. The survey has also confirmed that 96 per cent of villages which were given Open Defecation Free (ODF) tag by respective districts and states authorities concerned, according to Times of India report. An independent agency had conducted the survey between mid-November 2017 and mid-March 2018.

The survey shows 70 percent of villages have a minimal litter. Since October 2, 2014, over 6.6 crore household toilets were built. The date obtained from Swachh Bharat Mission Gramin website shows 3,40,370 villages have been given ODF status. There are 341 open defecation free districts. The government has also said that 30 crore people have stopped defecating in open since October 2014.


The agency had submitted survey results to Expert Working Group which has NITI Aayog, World Bank, UNICEF, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, India Sanitation Coalition and Sulabh International etc.

Earlier, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that India is expected to be open defecation free by October 2019. Singh had said that to further boost cleanliness, the central government was implementing an Rs 12,000-crore action plan through 76 ministries and departments.

PM Modi had on October 2, 2014, picked up a broom to launch the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and has exhorted people to take part in it from time to time. PM Modi had also written personalised letters to iconic celebrities, prominent industrialists, sports-persons, film stars, inter-faith leaders and other noted personalities to promote the initiative.

According to basic arithmetic there are 92,680,000 people without toilets if these are to be believed.

And...this is a good thing.

In a country where 12.5% or 165 million approx of the population is below poverty line , you will find people defecating in the open . Even my ancestors were defecating in the open 40 years ago when they were living in the remote villages despite having 4 story house <3

Now we have 3 bathroom cum toilets z_z

If you are talking about the epic fail, I was reffering to the 7% who still defecate outside even though indoor toilets are there. Not at tread if that is what you thought. And you might just have seeing how the juxtaposition of that meme with the quote was pretty confusing.

But if not, think about it. Should we really be writting an article about how people not shitting on the streets is a good thing for the prime minister? Are we really suppose to be congratulating this? Is that response... okay?

I'm pretty sure this article was written in order to exclaim that outdoor defecation is down. We've been shitting on India for this problem for decades now, pardon the pun. But damn. All this article really did was show how much of a damn problem it is. So much so that you are congratulating yourselves for people not shitting on the streets anymore. Which should be common sense and par the course anyways. Especially if you are claiming yourselves to be up and coming world superpower.

Just take a step back and realize how ridiculous this article is for a sec. Even with all that money spent some 7% percent STILL shit on the streets. After the government builds indoor toilets for them not to do so. Reminds me of the people who refused to go to government built housing and lived on the railroad tracks disrupting train traffic.

I know India is trying to change. But the best way to go about this is to do so quietly and let people find out for themselves. Exclaiming to the world that you are (almost) not shitting on the streets is just pretty off putting.

We are Indians , we do everything thing with Ho Halla 😅

It was about face palm .
This mission began in 2014 . In 4 years open defecation reduced massively . India is a huge/complex country , so things take time .

Those 7 % will be looked after this year .

Wait a minute....


77 per cent of houses in village areas have toilets. Of those 77 percent households, over 93 percent have shunned the habit of open defecation
93% of 77%, which is something like 71.6%. They also talk only about villages, let's do some research!
More than 41 million people in urban India practice open defecation.
There's 448 million urban Indians, 876 million rurals.

We get 41 million urban street shitters, 249 million rural ones, add these up and we have 290 million street shitters!

Let's go deeper into this shithole, because why not.
On average humans eliminate 128 g of fresh feces per person per day

That's something like 37 kilotons of street shit, or 37000 cubic meters of it. A pile about the size of this building:

Still not getting the gist of the matter .
Conditions were horrible in 2014 .
It has been a great achievement .

As per baseline survey conducted by Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, the number of persons defecating in open in rural areas, which was 55-crore in October, 2014, declined to 25-crore in January, 2018, at a much faster pace compared to the trend observed before 2014,” the Survey said. “So far, 296 districts and 3,07,349 villages all over the India have been declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF)
