(b)  to  (d):    No  Universal  Sanitation  Coverage  Survey  has  been  published  by  the Department  of Drinking Water  and  Sanitation. However,  in order to  ensure sustainability of ODF status and to ensure that no one is left behind, the Government has  advised  all  the  States/UTs  including  Uttar  Pradesh  to  identify  if  any  rural households  have  been  missed  out.  Subsequently,  many  States  have  undertaken special drives to identify such missed out households and all the States have been encouraged  to  provide  the  necessary  support  to  these  households  to  construct toilets.
