The government has set a target of building nearly 11.1 crore individual, cluster and community toilets by 2019.
In urban areas, the campaign is being implemented by the Ministry of Urban Development and covers 4,041 towns. According to Census 2011, nearly eight million households in these towns do not have access to toilets and defecate in the open.
The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is in charge of the campaign in rural areas.
