## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RATTAN LAL KATARIA)

- (a) & (b) All 36 States/UTs have declared themselves Open Defecation Free (ODF)  as  on  2.10.2019 under  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Gramin).  The Government  has  further  advised  all  the  States  to  ensure  that  no  one  is  left behind under SBM(G) and to identify the missed out rural households, if any, and support them to construct toilets under the programme.

(c) & (d)  Sanitation primarily is a behavioral issue. This involves changing the mindset amongst people to stop open defecation and to adopt safe sanitation practices. Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)], the preferable approach  is  to  adopt  Community  Approaches  to  Sanitation  (CAS)  focusing heavily on triggering entire communities and on achieving collective behavioral  change  with  emphasis  on  awareness  generation.

Massive  media  campaigns  have  been  carried  out  at  national level using Audio Visual (TV) and Audio (Radio) aids. States have also carried out  IEC  campaign  including  interpersonal  Communication  (IPC). Cleanliness drives  and  awareness  campaigns  are  also  held  at  regular  intervals.    Besides conventional  IEC  tools,  social  media  are  also  used  for  spreading  the  mass awareness.  A Facebook page for SBM(G) has been created and twitter handles are also active. Media celebrities have been roped in as brand ambassadors.

All  the States/UTs have been advised to set up an ODF-sustainability Cell at the State level. Further, there is a robust ODF verification mechanism to ensure sustainability of ODF status. Awareness is being created for the households to retrofit  their  toilets,  whenever  required,  to  ensure  their  long  term  usages. Swachhagrahis and Nigrani Samitis are also engaged for regular follow up with the  villagers to ensure that  no one  is defecating  in the open. The States have also been advised to set up training management units at State and district level to  strengthen  the  capacity  of  the  Panchayats  and  field  level  functionaries towards sustainability measures.
