these bureaucrats sit in their ivory towers and dont want to do anything useful. MPLADS funds should be released ONLY if toilets are constructed and are being used. All payments to farmers should be done after confirming that toilets have been made and are being used. The Central Govts have been doing their bit but the people have to change their habits. Kejriwal will of course blame the PM for this lapse.
Using toilet is a behavioural change involving 17 crore rural households. All infra require a minimum number to afford it. For toilets we generally requires flush sewage system for which huge investment is required and which is affordable only in cities of 1 lakh and more. We cant have it in villages where there are no covered drains. We must ensure that in house toilets are easily and always kept totally clean otherwise they can be a big source of disease. A bad in house toilet is far more hazardous than open air defecation. Therefore we should either built panchyayat toilets outside the villages and make all arrangement to keep them spik and span some thing that is not possible even in most city toilets. Otherwise use bio-digester with proper stool habits. Clean toilets are equally important as the numbers.
This is so typical of India - everything works, but nothing works well. Instead of the slogan saying "Make in India", it should say "Design Properly and Make Well in India"
The Govt.prog to have toilet in each village hut is very very impractical.. This is becoz 80% village huts are one room hut with no back yard os space to make a toilets. Only the well offf with 2-3rooms hut and a backyard have gone in for toilets.They are also using them for straw storage.. Hence this excellent prog.has been a dead loss to the villagers.. The villagers like to go out in the field to shit.. The best economical easy manageable & workable alternative is to construct toilet sets 4 to 12 asper local area requirements,separate for men and women.. The above can be easily assessed by a genuine survey of work done so far..

They just have to use prefabricate toilets. Forget private vendors, let government construct such toilets and deliver in villages.
According to reports "Less than half the number of toilets targeted were constructed, and a third of those which saw the light of day were defunct. They were either incomplete, or poorly constructed, or badly maintained. Most o the schemes announced by our dear PM are just publicity stunts and no serious eforts have been made to fulfil them.
Funds given to poor in village but poor received part of that funds only . some commission taken by Bank Manager, Sarpanch of village , BDO officer. This the level of corruption in our government system still remain poor even more then 60 year's of independent. Hence social audit with proof required to stop corruption funds given in village for poor people.
social Audit need to done in every village for given fund after completion of work how they utilized based on proof , estimate , photograph then funding of that project should be released in village.
excellent if all india people get it in 1-2 months to make india clean and green and we may also come into tops list and one of main tourist destination.

practically speaking Indians don't have sence of cleanliness - even the educated persons throw plastic arappwes out of the train and not in dustbin .Reguarding other people like -- peons , workers, bus drivers , slum people , etc they will always eat tobacco and spit at all location where it is writted don't spit . All train stations walkways at railway station / all bus stations etc have walls coloured with spitting .
One who spits should be immediately put in jain for 2 days with information to their family members -- govt should not pay for their lunches in jail.
Toilets are one part-good but in in cleanliness drive, who will lift the garbage, malba and other dirt from road sides, streets and vacant plots. Everyone Govt. servants are not working, no regular cleaning by them in any area. It is failed by executing agencies and our leaders do not have any control over them, as even Modi cannot chuck a non working peon out of job.

Without people's involvement, nothing can happen. Hygiene is never a priority with poor people and they do not value or maintain any infrastructure provided.
