10 Crore Toilets to be Constructed by 2019: Union Minister Ram Kripal Yadav "Nearly 40 lakh individual household toilets have been constructed so far"
The Centre has set a target of construction of 10 crore toilets in the country by 2019 as a part of the government's ambitious 'Swachh Bharat Mission', Union Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said today.
"Nearly 40 lakh individual household toilets have been constructed so far as part of the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' launched last year by Narendra Modi-led NDA government. The Centre is committed to end the practice of open defecation by 2019 as a token of tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary," Mr Yadav, the Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation, told reporters in Vadodara.
"The 'Swachh Bharat Mission' aims to accelerate sanitation coverage so as to realise by 2019 its goal of clean India by providing access to toilet facilities in all rural households and taking up solid and liquid waste management activities in gram panchayats. The practice of open defecation will be brought to an end after construction of 10 crore toilets by 2019," he said.
