UNICEF Study Highlights Another Accomplishment of Swachh Bharat

The nation has already acknowledged the fact that Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has steered the country to near 100% sanitation coverage from the mere 38.7% before October 2014.

Modi government in its five years period had built over 9 crore household toilets whereas in all of the period between 1947 and 2014 the number of household toilets built was 6.37 crore.

In villages, this effort was seen not just an infrastructure push but the toilets have been perceived as izzat ghar, safeguarding the dignity of women.

The far-reaching effects of Swachh Bharat continue to unfold as the recent UNICEF study has demonstrated that the programme has resulted in huge environmental benefit as well, thereby making a positive impact on health.

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has done this study “to ascertain contamination levels, related to human and animal faecal contamination in Environmental Medium viz.

Thus, it has become clear that where all the Swachh Bharat has completed its task of making the place ODF, it has evidently contributed to the cause of environment.
