## Statement referred to in the reply to LokSabha Starred Question No.47 due for reply on 13.12.2018.

(a) State/UT-wise number of Individual household latrines (IHHLs) constructed under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) [SBM(G)] from 2.10.2014 to 7.12.2018 is given at Annexure-1.

(b) State/UT-wise number of Gram Panchayats, Blocks and Districts, which have been declared  Open  Defecation  Free  (ODF)  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current financial year is at Annexure-2 .

(c) Rural areas of 25 States/UTs namely A & N Islands, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh (except some Left Wing Extremist affected Gram Panchayats),  D  &  N  Haveli,  Daman  &  Diu,  Gujarat,  Haryana,  Himachal  Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu and  Uttarakhand  have  already  been  declared  Open  Defecation  Free  (ODF).  Rural areas  of  remaining  10  States  namely  Assam,  Bihar,  Goa,  Jharkhand,  Karnataka, Odisha,  Telangana,  Tripura,  Uttar  Pradesh  and  West  Bengal  are  likely  to  become Open Defecation Free (ODF) by the end of March, 2019.

(d)  One  of  the  key  factors  in  the  success  for  SBM  has  been  the  political  will  and support at the highest level both at the State and Central levels. It has injected a sense of urgency in the entire administrative system at the Centre, state and district levels. The SBM has become a Jan Andolan, with the people making the program their own. The significant IEC and Behaviour Change communication under the program has led to  construction  of  toilets  and  also  ensured  regular  usage  for  sustainability.  Further, sufficient 'public finance' has been  provided  as the incentive money  for  this programme  for  BPL  and  eligible  APL  households.  Very  close  monitoring  and evaluation has been used for guiding the programme. Also, partnerships have played a crucial role as SBM has built several strategic partnerships to mainstream sanitation in all  sectors.  All  Ministries  of  the  Government  of  India  are  working  tirelessly  to improve  sanitation  in  their  respective  spheres  of  influence  like  schools,  hospitals, anganwadis, highways, markets, and railways.
