HEALTH RISKS DUE TO UNSANITARY HABITS

THE HEALTH COST OF INSANITATION IS VERY HIGH

Recent evidence indicates that India is heading towards a major sanitation crisis in the coming years. Efforts made at meeting the sanitation challenges have been found to have very limited results, with as high as 65% of the population not having toilet facilities coupled with very low use of existing toilets in urban and rural areas

"Some of these people fear that there are witches inside or that their children will be kidnapped. "These people have come from small villages, and so they are not used to the practice." Gujarat Sanitation Department is giving one rupee to the children to use the toilet
