Existence of insanitary latrines is the root cause of manual scavenging. As per the ‘Houselisting and Housing Census Data, 2011’, there were about 26 lakh insanitary latrines in the country in 2011. All existing insanitary latrines need to be identified and either demolished or converted into sanitary latrines under the provisions of the MS Act.

What innovations can be used to convert insanitary latrines into sanitary latrines in shortest possible time?

Traditional Behavior Change of rural people is a major concern. For this continuous triggering of the peoples, massive communication drives are very much necessary which could be achieved by enhancing human resources with proper skills and with the help of support team from all levels along with community leaders. Proper infrastructures for human resources, area specific sanitary toilets (e.g. toilet for flood prone areas) should be developed. Sustainability of model should given priority.

Having public toilets in public places and areas of mass settlement (slums, Markets, yards, platforms, schools and educational institutions). some of these can carry nominal usage charges and few like in markets(Vegetables market mandis etc). can be made free. recycling the waste of toilets to generate energy is a viable option which can be explored.

Creating Public latrines is the responsibility of the Government. However the Government may not have funds to provide latrines for all citizens. So can latrines of various classification constructed (like star rating). Some are charged and some are free. And hopefully the earnings we get from the charged should be able to take care of the maintenance of the free ones. Private companies can be motivated to use their CSR funds to construct latrines (I am sure it can be a great place to market !!

The Socio economic caste census 2011 had already taken into account the number of dry latrines in India.Thus the existing dry latrines should be replaced.Making latrines with water availability to be made a priority under Total Sanitation campaign.'Sikkim model' which has become the first Open defecation free state in India should be emulated in other states.Similar to MPLADS a MLALADS scheme should be evolved by the states which should come with mandatory sanitation spending in each district.

Non availability of water for cleaning and flushing is the main cause of insanitary latrines. If the huge amount of waste water from the drainages could be re-cycled after filtration enroute to disposal, the problem of non availability of water can be solved to a great extent.
