Question
Discuss the provision of toilets in India.
✓

Answer

Provision for toilets in India:
  • India is a land of villages because around $70\%$ population lives in villages. Most of the villages still use untreated sources of water like tube well, hand pump, canal, ponds, etc. Hence, villagers are more prone to water-related diseases. Cleanliness is another important aspect and it is directly related to sanitation facilities.
  • In India, as per census $2011$ report, $34\%$ of the households are without toilet facility in the home and this thing leads to several diseases.

Analysis: In India, $66\%$ houses have toilet facility within house whereas remaining $34\%$ families use common toilets. The filth of common toilets or those who excrete in open areas cause several diseases. This in turn decreases individual productivity.
