India has made rapid progress in ending open defecation across the Country which is having a huge impact on improving water, sanitation and hygeine (WASH). Just a few years ago, in 2015, nearly half of India’s population of around 568 million people suffered the indignity of defecating in fields, forests, bodies of water, or other public spaces due to lack of access to toilets. India alone accounted for 90 per cent of the people in South Asia and half of the 1.2 billion people in the world that defecated in the open.
By 2019, according to the latest estimates, the number of people without access to toilets has reduced significantly by an estimated 450 million people. A tremendous achievement, only possible because of the Swacch Bharat Mission (SBM) (Clean India Campaign), led by the Prime Minister. UNICEF has been a proud partner of the Swacch Bharat Mission.
