Abstract | Rajasthan, the largest Indian state (in terms of geographical area), has 33 districts with 238 blocks, 9189 Gram Panchayats and 41353 villages. The Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) was launched in the State in 1999 and scaled up in all the 32 districts in 2004-05. Though significant progress has been made in terms of sanitary toilet coverage in the state but still a large gap remains to be fulfilled. Presently the coverage is around 46%. It is evident from the current progress that more then 50% of the households still are to be reached. Similarly, about 50% of the schools and more then 60% of the Anganwadi centres in the state are also to be provided with toilet facilities. To achieve the full coverage status, herculean efforts are required with fresh thinking. Moreover, emphasis has to be on usage also. [authors abstract] |
