Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) or Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) is a
Community-led total sanitation program initiated by Government of India in
1999. It is a demand-driven and people-centered sanitation program. It
evolved from the limited achievements of the first structured programme for
rural sanitation in India, the Central Rural Sanitation Programme, which had
minimal community participation. The main goal of Total Sanitation Campaign
is to eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2017. Community-led total
sanitation is not focused on building infrastructure, but on preventing open
defecation through peer pressure and shame. In Maharashtra where the
program started more than 2000 Gram Panchayats have achieved "opendefecation free" status. Villages that achieve this status receive monetary
rewards and high publicity under a program called Nirmal Gram Puraskar
