Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM)
 

• Through SBM, 99.2 per cent of rural India has been covered. Since October 2, 2014, over 95 million toilets have been built all over the country, and 564,658 villages have been declared open-defecation free (ODF).

 

• Becoming ODF has reduced deaths due to diarrhoea, malaria, especially in under-five children, stillbirths and new-borns with weight less than 2.5 kg and thereby improved child health and nutrition.

 

• Financial savings from a household toilet exceed the financial costs to the household by 1.7 times, on average and 2.4 times for poorest households.
