SANITATION PROBLEM IN INDIA

Hi frndz,
Achieving 100% Sanitation is a real challenge in front of INDIA coz-

Over half-a-billion Indians do not have a toilet; one in two Indians, or around 650 million people, defecates out in the open. Untreated waste poses a serious health risk. Last year, India added around 11 million toilets but the government wants the rate of construction to increase considerably.
India still needs to build 78 new toilets every minute over the next four years to meet the government’s ambitious sanitation target under the Nirmal Gram Yojana, or Total Sanitation Campaign.

r u aware?
