Answer 2

8.1 ahatma Gandhi once said, “Sanitation

is more important than independence.” Proper

sanitation and hygiene are essential inputs

not only for healthy and disease free living

but also for a dignified life as a human

being. The ancient Indus valley civilisation

accorded prime importance to sanitation by

meticulously integrating sanitation systems

into town planning. Although sanitation

and hygiene are considered to be virtues

in all cultures and religions of the world,

prevalence of unsanitary conditions have

been a problem faced by most of the countries

at some point of time in the process of their

economic development. Many have alluded

to the unhygienic conditions that prevailed in

the industrial towns of 19th century Europe.

“The river having water polluted with soil and faeces, insects, snakes and rats and carrying

rainwater will aggravate all doshas. Slimy, having insects, impure, full of leaves, moss and

mud, having abnormal color and taste, viscous and foul smelling water is not wholesome.”

— Charaka Samhita

Aligning with the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was initiated in

2014 to achieve universal sanitation coverage by 2 October 2019. This flagship programme is,

perhaps, the largest cleanliness drive as well as an attempt to effect behavioural change in the

world ever. Even 67 years after India’s independence, in 2014, around 100 million rural and about

10 million urban households in India were without a sanitary toilet; over 564 million, i.e. close

to half the population, still practiced open defecation. Through SBM, 99.2 per cent of rural India

has been covered in the last four years. Since October 2014, over 9.5 crore toilets have been built

all over the country and 564,658 villages have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF).

SBM has significantly improved health outcomes. To highlight the impact of SBM on health, new

evidence is provided that SBM has helped reduce diarrhoea and malaria among children below

five years, still birth and low birth weight (new born with weight less than 2.5 kgs). This effect is

particularly, pronounced in districts where IHHL coverage was lower is 2015. 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. As sanitation gained over the last four years contributes to

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the SDG 6.2, the momentum must be sustained.

Hope it helps uh mate✌✌
