## (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a)  State/UT-wise,  number  of  individual  household  latrines  (IHHLs)  constructed  during 2015-16 as per the information uploaded by the States on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is at Annexure-1.
- (b) Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), there is a provision for providing an incentive of Rs.12,000 for the construction of Individual Household Latrine (IHHL) to all Below Poverty Line  (BPL)  households  and  to  identified  Above  Poverty  Line  (APL)  households  (all  SCs /STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homestead, physically handicapped and women-headed households). This Rs.12,000 per toilet is not a reimbursement of the cost of  the  toilet,  which  may  be  lower  or  higher  than  this  incentive  amount,  depending  upon several  factors.  This  is  only  an  incentive  amount  to  be  paid  to  the  household  for  stopping open defecation.
