State/UT  wise  data  on  the  number  of  such buildings  which  require  urgent  repair  is  currently  unavailable.   Further,    the  cost  of construction of sanitation facilities in AWCs were fixed at Rs 12000/- way back in  201718. This norm were not found sufficient for construction of a standard child friendly toilet in  AWCs due to cost increase in last few years. The cost of the same has now been revised to Rs. 36000/-. The states have been seeking funds for toilet construction under the  revised  norms.  A  sum  of  Rs.164.57  crore  has  been  released,  to  States/UTs  for construction of sanitation facilities in AWCs.
