1. Rural Sanitation : Scale of the Problem
~60% of India’s 1.1 billion people still practice open defecation. ~58% of all open defecations in the world is in India. Problem particularly daunting in rural areas.
Poor sanitation and hygiene leading causes of infant and child deaths. Every 30 seconds a child under five dies as a result of diarrhea.
Poor health affects not only productivity but also school attendance, particularly for girl child. Women/girls are especially affected by lack of privacy from limited access to toilet facilities in schools and households.
India loses USD 54billion (Rs. 24,000 crore) a year due to poor sanitation and hygiene (6.4% of GDP)
