Subject: Open Defection
Ministry: JAL SHAKTI
Asked by: Brijendra Singh

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI DEPARTMENT OF DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION

## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.2948

TO BE ANSWERED ON 05.08.2021

## OPEN DEFECTION

2948. SHRI BRIJENDRA SINGH:

Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether  as  per  the  report of  UNICEF  and  World  Health  Organization's  Joint  Monitoring Programme (JMP) on water, sanitation and hygiene, at least 15 per cent Indians still defecate in the open and if so, the details thereof; and
- (b) the steps being taken by the Government to ensure that toilets that were built in rural areas under Swachh Bharat Mission are functional having adequate water supply and accessible?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

- (a) Yes, Sir.  The sanitation status of India as per the report of UNICEF and World Health Organization's Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) titled as 'Progress on Household Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene 2000-2020 - Five Years into the SDGs' is given below:

| National Sanitation Estimates (%)   |   National Sanitation Estimates (%) |
|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| At-least Basic                      |                                  71 |
| Limited(shared)                     |                                  12 |
| Unimproved                          |                                   2 |
| Open Defecation                     |                                  15 |

JMP methodology involves gathering data  from various researches and reports conducted on the subject and derive conclusions using them. Many of these surveys and reports are based on very  small  samples  and  use  varied  methodologies  and  are  generally  not  representative  of  the ground situation. JMP does not use primary survey or research to derive the ground situation. Hence  JMP  at  best  provides  an  estimate  derived  from  different  reports  and  is  not  a  true reflection of the ground level situation.

(b) Sanitation is a State subject. Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen), a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, has been implemented through the State Governments to improve overall sanitation in rural  areas.  Government  of  India  provides  financial  and  technical  assistance  to  the  State Governments  and  issues  guidelines  to  support  them  to  implement  the  programme.  Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) guidelines inter alia provide that a duly completed toilet shall have water  storage  facility  for  hand  washing  and  cleaning  to  ensure  that  proper  hygiene  is maintained. Further, under SBM (G), rural pans are used that require only 1-2 litre of water for flushing.    Further,  under  the  Jal  Jeevan  Mission,  a  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme,  being implemented in the country, it has been envisaged to provide piped water supply to every rural household in the country.
