The functionality disparity

One in ten rural schools are without toilet facilities. Where toiletsexist, only one in two is usable.[Source: Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2010

Independent assessment of WASH facilities in schools show a similar trend in functionality

Functionality of water and toilet facilities continues to remain as a major gap to be plugged

Though 93% schools have drinking water facility, only 82 %schools have improved drinking water facility, while it isfunctional in only 79% schools (as against availability).Functional drinking water facility is less than 60% inNagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur.Only Six out of 10 schools have functioning toilet facilities.

Out of the ~ 2.7 million toilets, over 2 million (~76%) arefunctional. In 3 states ( AP, Nagaland and Meghalaya) less than 50% ofthe toilets are functional.

State-wise functionality of drinking water facilities inschools * State-wise functionality of toilets in schools *

Functionality of drinking water in schools is below the national average in 8 states (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar,Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura.Functionality of toilet facility in schools is less than the national average in 13 states, which implies that a lot has tobe done in ensuring safe sanitation to children in schools.

Although the availability of drinking water stands at 93% in schools across India, yet a total 6.50 million children (3.46 % children of total enrolment) do nothave access to drinking water facility in schools., 13 states (Meghalaya, Assam, Nagaland, Tripura, Mizoram, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Orissa, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Manipur andAndhra Pradesh) account for more than 3.39 million children without access to drinking water facility in schools. A total of 27.6 million children ( 14.1 million boys and 13.5 million girls ) accounting for 14.7% of total children enrolled do not have access to toilet facility inschools.7 states (Orissa, Meghalaya, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Assam and Bihar) account for almost 50% (13.8 million) children without access to toilet facilities inschools.


Improving access to toilets in 6 states (UP, MP, Bihar, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Assam would reduce the gap by 50%.Similarly, improving the access to girls toilets in 7 states (Chhattisgarh, J&K, Bihar, Meghalaya, Orissa, Assam, Manipur andMP) would reduce the gap by 50%.


Toilets in all schools and separate toilets for girls is still a long way to go..
