## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a) : The 'Hamara Shauchalay: Hamara Samman' (HSHS) campaign, launched on World Toilet Day (10 th November 2024), concluded on 10 th December 2024, aligning sanitation with dignity and  human  rights  on  Human  Rights  Day.  The  three-week  campaign  mobilized  communities across the rural India, bringing sanitation into the spotlight as a matter of collective pride and responsibility.

Key  Activities  of  the  Campaign  : The  campaign  mobilized  efforts  at  every  level-State, District, Block, and Gram Panchayat (GP)-through activities such as:

## (i) Competitions :

- Best Individual Toilet Competition (IHHL) : Recognizing households for maintaining the most well-painted and functional toilets. Winners were felicitated at district events on December 10.
- Community Toilet Aesthetic Drive : Villages competed to improve the appearance and usability of CSCs, ensuring community pride in shared spaces.

## (ii) Awareness Drives and Community Participation :

- Villagers actively participated in painting, refurbishing, and maintaining toilets.
- District  Water  Sanitation  Meetings  (DWSMs)  and  rallies  were  organized  to  engage stakeholders and raise awareness.
- States/UTs  to  conduct  press  conferences  on  Human  Rights  Day  to  showcase  the achievements  of  the  campaign,  share  success  stories,  and  reinforce  the  message that access to sanitation is fundamental to human dignity and rights
- Users  to  post  pictures  of  their  upgraded  toilets  using  #MyToilet:MyPride  on  MyGov portal.

Achievements  of  the  campaign: Over  50,500  events  conducted  across  states  and  union territories and participation exceeding 41 lakh people, the  HSHS  campaign  achieved remarkable milestones:

- Over 606 Districts have organised DWSM meetings
- Over 3.68 Lakh IHHL Sanction Orders issued and more than 50,000 toilets constructed.
- Over 70% i.e.- 1.73 Lakh CSCs have been assessed for functionality

Stories of Change Across India: The campaign demonstrated the diversity and innovation of India's sanitation journey:

- In Jammu & Kashmir, mobile LED-equipped vehicles brought sanitation awareness to the remotest corners, blending technology with community engagement.
- Bihar used digital systems and school-based activities to drive awareness and encourage youth participation.
- In Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, a groundbreaking initiative integrated Google Maps to track CSCs, ensuring their accessibility and upkeep.
- Across  Karnataka  and  Tamil  Nadu,  beautification  of  CSCs  and  IHHLs  transformed sanitation infrastructure into community landmarks.

The  campaign  witnessed  active  involvement  from  Governors,  Union  Ministers,  Members  of Parliament,  State  Ministers,  MLAs,  and  Panchayat  leaders,  underlining  the  importance  of collective  action.  Water  and  Sanitation  Committees  at  the  state,  district,  and  gram  panchayat levels  were activated, ensuring long-term accountability and sustainability. By concluding on Human  Rights  Day,  the  HSHS  campaign  highlighted  the  intrinsic  connection  between sanitation and fundamental rights. Access to functional and clean toilets is central to ensuring dignity, safety, and equality, particularly for women and marginalized communities.The HSHS campaign has reaffirmed the vision of the Swachh Bharat Mission-sanitation not just as an infrastructure goal, but as a -Jan Andolan that empowers communities and transforms lives

(b) to (d) : Sanitation is a State subject. As per SBMG Phase-II operation guidelines IHHL is one of the important components to sustain the ODF status of the villages. The construction of IHHLs is an ongoing effort, States and UTs providing IHHLs to all eligible households as per the demand. Also providing Community Sanitary Complexes (CSCs) for public use, has also been provisioned especially  for  land  less  families,  migrant  workers,  school  children,  and  the floating  population.  During  the  period  'Hamara  Shauchalay:  Hamara  Samman'  (HSHS) campaign (19 th November to 10 th December 2024), over 3.68 lakh toilets were sanctioned, and more than 50,000 toilets have been constructed.

In  the  current  Annual  Implementation  plan  (FY  2024-25)  States  and  UTs  have  planned  to construct  over  54.82  Lakh  Individual  Household  Latrines.    The  Swachh  Bharat  Mission (Gramin)  phase  II  aims  to  sustain  ODF+  sustainability  through  IHHL  &  CSCs,  visual cleanliness  through  arrangements  for  solid  and  liquid  waste  management,  safe  sanitation practices  through  provisions  for  faecal  sludge  management.  This  may  enhance  the  visual cleanliness and safe sanitation practices in the rural part of the country. Annexure-1 shows the number of IHHLs and Community Sanitary Complexes in the states. Annexure  2 shows the villages  who  declare  themselves  ODF+  (Provisions  for  solid  &  liquid  waste  management  & safe sanitation practices).

(e)  :  During  the  period  'Hamara  Shauchalay:  Hamara  Samman'  (HSHS)  campaign  (19 th November  to  10 th December  2024),  over  3.68  lakh  toilets  were  sanctioned,  and  more  than 50,000 toilets have been constructed. State/UT-details are at Annexure-3. District wise details of Rajasthan including Bhilwara are placed in Annexure-4.
