&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Innovate methods are being used to encourage people to end open defecation, but issues like the underutilisation of funds and use of coercive methods to achieve targets remain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has run rural sanitation programmes since the 1980s. Yet, according to Census 2011, only about 30% of all rural households have toilets, and even fewer use those toilets. By contrast, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, several changes have taken place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Efforts towards a &amp;lsquo;Swachh Bharat&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First, a commitment has come from the highest level of government, with the prime minister himself doing &amp;ldquo;shramdan&amp;rdquo; for the construction of a twin pit toilet in a village in Varanasi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, for the first time, the government is focusing on triggering a collective behaviour change on a large scale instead of merely on the construction of toilets. Even the management information system of the government is counting communities and districts that have become open defecation free (ODF); earlier it was only counting the number of toilets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third, the speed with which toilets are being constructed has also gained momentum. Since 2014, 40 million household latrines have been constructed. Some 250,000 of India&amp;rsquo;s 649,481 villages have been declared ODF, along with 201 districts and five states as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, there is a renewed focus on verification and sustainability of ODF status by monitoring toilet use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifth, money has been allocated on a scale hitherto unheard of to hire the staff needed to mobilise communities around sanitation. Half a million &amp;lsquo;Swachhagrahis&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in villages and districts. There has occurred an empanelment of key resource centres at the national level for capacity building on collective behaviour change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixth, there is focus on senior male members of households to sensitise them through collective behaviour change (through Darwaza Band campaign). Use of social media for creating awareness is also happening. &amp;lsquo;Swachhata Preraks&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in each district to support the district magistrates directly. Training of district officials is creating a new momentum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventh, there is a new focus on ODF plus, i.e. solid and liquid waste management. This is done with a view to incentivise sustainability of ODF status. Special sustainability funds and fund allocation to states on performance is also ongoing.&lt;br /&gt;

Some 250,000 of India&amp;rsquo;s 649,481 villages have been declared ODF, along with 201 districts and five states as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, there is a renewed focus on verification and sustainability of ODF status by monitoring toilet use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifth, money has been allocated on a scale hitherto unheard of to hire the staff needed to mobilise communities around sanitation. Half a million &amp;lsquo;Swachhagrahis&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in villages and districts. There has occurred an empanelment of key resource centres at the national level for capacity building on collective behaviour change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixth, there is focus on senior male members of households to sensitise them through collective behaviour change (through Darwaza Band campaign). Use of social media for creating awareness is also happening. &amp;lsquo;Swachhata Preraks&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in each district to support the district magistrates directly. Training of district officials is creating a new momentum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventh, there is a new focus on ODF plus, i.e. solid and liquid waste management. This is done with a view to incentivise sustainability of ODF status. Special sustainability funds and fund allocation to states on performance is also ongoing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Innovate methods are being used to encourage people to end open defecation, but issues like the underutilisation of funds and use of coercive methods to achieve targets remain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has run rural sanitation programmes since the 1980s. Yet, according to Census 2011, only about 30% of all rural households have toilets, and even fewer use those toilets. By contrast, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, several changes have taken place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Efforts towards a &amp;lsquo;Swachh Bharat&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First, a commitment has come from the highest level of government, with the prime minister himself doing &amp;ldquo;shramdan&amp;rdquo; for the construction of a twin pit toilet in a village in Varanasi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, for the first time, the government is focusing on triggering a collective behaviour change on a large scale instead of merely on the construction of toilets. Even the management information system of the government is counting communities and districts that have become open defecation free (ODF); earlier it was only counting the number of toilets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third, the speed with which toilets are being constructed has also gained momentum. Since 2014, 40 million household latrines have been constructed. Some 250,000 of India&amp;rsquo;s 649,481 villages have been declared ODF, along with 201 districts and five states as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, there is a renewed focus on verification and sustainability of ODF status by monitoring toilet use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifth, money has been allocated on a scale hitherto unheard of to hire the staff needed to mobilise communities around sanitation. Half a million &amp;lsquo;Swachhagrahis&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in villages and districts. There has occurred an empanelment of key resource centres at the national level for capacity building on collective behaviour change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixth, there is focus on senior male members of households to sensitise them through collective behaviour change (through Darwaza Band campaign). Use of social media for creating awareness is also happening. &amp;lsquo;Swachhata Preraks&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in each district to support the district magistrates directly. Training of district officials is creating a new momentum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Innovate methods are being used to encourage people to end open defecation, but issues like the underutilisation of funds and use of coercive methods to achieve targets remain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has run rural sanitation programmes since the 1980s. Yet, according to Census 2011, only about 30% of all rural households have toilets, and even fewer use those toilets. By contrast, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, several changes have taken place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Efforts towards a &amp;lsquo;Swachh Bharat&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First, a commitment has come from the highest level of government, with the prime minister himself doing &amp;ldquo;shramdan&amp;rdquo; for the construction of a twin pit toilet in a village in Varanasi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, for the first time, the government is focusing on triggering a collective behaviour change on a large scale instead of merely on the construction of toilets. Even the management information system of the government is counting communities and districts that have become open defecation free (ODF); earlier it was only counting the number of toilets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third, the speed with which toilets are being constructed has also gained momentum. Since 2014, 40 million household latrines have been constructed. Some 250,000 of India&amp;rsquo;s 649,481 villages have been declared ODF, along with 201 districts and five states as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fourth, there is a renewed focus on verification and sustainability of ODF status by monitoring toilet use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifth, money has been allocated on a scale hitherto unheard of to hire the staff needed to mobilise communities around sanitation. Half a million &amp;lsquo;Swachhagrahis&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in villages and districts. There has occurred an empanelment of key resource centres at the national level for capacity building on collective behaviour change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixth, there is focus on senior male members of households to sensitise them through collective behaviour change (through Darwaza Band campaign). Use of social media for creating awareness is also happening. &amp;lsquo;Swachhata Preraks&amp;rsquo; have been deployed in each district to support the district magistrates directly. Training of district officials is creating a new momentum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventh, there is a new focus on ODF plus, i.e. solid and liquid waste management. This is done with a view to incentivise sustainability of ODF status. Special sustainability funds and fund allocation to states on performance is also ongoing.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>Innovate methods are being used to encourage people to end open defecation, but issues like the underutilisation of funds and use of coercive methods to achieve targets remain.<br />
</em><br />
The government has run rural sanitation programmes since the 1980s. Yet, according to Census 2011, only about 30% of all rural households have toilets, and even fewer use those toilets. By contrast, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, several changes have taken place.<br />
<br />
<em>Efforts towards a &lsquo;Swachh Bharat&rsquo;<br />
</em><br />
First, a commitment has come from the highest level of government, with the prime minister himself doing &ldquo;shramdan&rdquo; for the construction of a twin pit toilet in a village in Varanasi.<br />
<br />
Second, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, for the first time, the government is focusing on triggering a collective behaviour change on a large scale instead of merely on the construction of toilets. Even the management information system of the government is counting communities and districts that have become open defecation free (ODF); earlier it was only counting the number of toilets.<br />
<br />
Third, the speed with which toilets are being constructed has also gained momentum. Since 2014, 40 million household latrines have been constructed. Some 250,000 of India&rsquo;s 649,481 villages have been declared ODF, along with 201 districts and five states as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.<br />
<br />
Fourth, there is a renewed focus on verification and sustainability of ODF status by monitoring toilet use.<br />
<br />
Fifth, money has been allocated on a scale hitherto unheard of to hire the staff needed to mobilise communities around sanitation. Half a million &lsquo;Swachhagrahis&rsquo; have been deployed in villages and districts. There has occurred an empanelment of key resource centres at the national level for capacity building on collective behaviour change.<br />
<br />
Sixth, there is focus on senior male members of households to sensitise them through collective behaviour change (through Darwaza Band campaign). Use of social media for creating awareness is also happening. &lsquo;Swachhata Preraks&rsquo; have been deployed in each district to support the district magistrates directly. Training of district officials is creating a new momentum.<br />
<br />
Seventh, there is a new focus on ODF plus, i.e. solid and liquid waste management. This is done with a view to incentivise sustainability of ODF status. Special sustainability funds and fund allocation to states on performance is also ongoing.<br />

Has the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Brought a Paradigm Shift in Rural Sanitation? -Santosh Mehrotra and Vinod Mishra

The government has run rural sanitation programmes since the 1980s. Yet, according to Census 2011, only about 30% of all rural households have toilets, and even fewer use those toilets. By contrast, under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, several changes have taken place. Efforts towards a ‘Swachh Bharat’ First, a commitment has come from the highest level of government, with the prime minister himself doing “shramdan” for the construction of a twin pit toilet in a village in Varanasi.
