## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 904 TO BE ANSWERED ON 20-07-2017

## ODF Villages

## 904. SHRI B. SRIRAMULU:

Will the Minister of DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION be pleased to state :

- (a) the details of villages which have been declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF) during the last three years, State/ UT-wise;
- (b) the amount spent to make these villages ODF during the said period including Karnataka, State/UT-wise; and
- (c) the policy bottlenecks and implementation deficiencies noticed in making a village open defecation free along with the remedial action taken thereon?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a) The States/UTs - wise number of villages have been declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF) during the last three year including the current financial year is at Annexure-I.

(b) the amount spent to make these villages ODF during the said period including Karnataka, State/UT-wise is at Annexure -II; and

- (c)  Sanitation  is  a  behavioral  issue.  It  involves  change  of  mindset  amongst  people  to  stop open  defecation  and  to  adopt  safe  sanitation  practices.  This  requires  engagement  of community and skill  in facilitation  and  'triggering'.  There  is  constraint  of  these  capacities. Further, the States having large population have a bigger task of becoming ODF as compared to smaller States. In order to address the above problems, a number of measures are being taken. These include:
- Focus  on  behavior  change:  Community  based  collective  behavior  change  has  been mentioned  as  the  preferred  approach,  although  the  States  are  free  to  choose  the approach best suited to them.
- The  programme  provides  flexibility  to  the  States  in  the  implementation.  This  is essential, given the vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India, and also from the point of view of promoting innovations.
- There is a greater emphasis on capacity building, especially in community approaches and programme management.
- The programme is being run as a janandolan with cooperation of all sections of the society including the NGOs, Corporates, youth etc. The Panchayats are being actively involved.
