8. Recent evidence indicates that India is heading towards a major
sanitation crisis in the coming years. Efforts made at meeting the
sanitation challenges have been found to have very limited results,
with as high as 65% of the population not having toilet facilities
coupled with very low use of existing toilets in urban and rural areas
12. FACTORS LEADING TO POOR USE OF
TOILETS
• Lack of knowledge about the sensitivity/ importance of the
risks
•Unwillingness of people to adapt even if it leads to better
health and hygiene
•Absence of mechanisms to maintain the toilets
•Lack of plumbing and drainage facilities
•Lack of water, lack of adequate and systematically designed
sewage systems
•Inadequate mechanisms to maintain these sewage pipelines
•Poor consideration of gender-based factors such as security
concerns, extra charges for women, lack of attention to
accessibility factors such as separate entrance for women, have
further led to reduced use of toilets among women

19. RESHAPING ATTITUDES – Paid to Poo
• People who live in the slums of Chandoliya in Ahmedabad
use the railway tracks to do what most would do only in
private, especially early in the morning before the crowds
and the heat develop.
• "We've made public toilets but people still don't use them,"
said Anil Prajapati, chairman of the Gujarat Sanitation
Development Organisation.
• "Some of these people fear that there are witches inside or
that their children will be kidnapped.
• "These people have come from small villages, and so they
are not used to the practice."
• Gujarat Sanitation Department is giving one rupee to the
children to use the toilet

24. Transgenders lend their
hand
Sanjana Singh and her team have been using their
singing and dancing skills to make 12 villages in
the Bhopal district cleaner. Ms Singh, 30, a
transgender, runs an NGO for her community.
When the Madhya Pradesh government
requested the NGO, Mitra Shringaar Samiti, last
year to be a part of the Swacch Bharat Mission,
she happily agreed. It is now the team's mission
to campaign from door to door for better
sanitation in the villages.
27. Student
inspires village
• In Madhya Pradesh's Guradiya Varma village,
about 120 kilometres from Bhopal, 21-year-
old Anita Kaleshriya is an inspiration for many.
Enthused by a workshop on cleanliness
organised by a local group, she built a toilet in
her house in May last year with money from
her government scholarship fund. As a result,
she has inspired her village and neighbouring
villages to be open defecation free.
