Tax on Toilet in Himachal Pradesh created storm in the ongoing state election campaign

A notification was issued by the Himachal government to impose toilet tax in urban areas on September 21, which was withdrawn by the evening with some modification being performed over it, but since then the news got leaked and reached the offices of the other political parties, who raised concerns over the state governments’ carrot-and-stick approach. If the toilet tax issue is viewed through the prism of the Swachh Bharat Mission lens, the decision appears to be imprudent and casual. Very recently, the state declared itself to have achieved a milestone in providing toilets to each household and put a stop to open defecation completely....

Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) - Transforming India Through Cleanliness

Proper hygiene is key to the optimum health and well-being of individuals, and cleanliness is central to hygiene whether we talk about roads, slums, fancy outskirts of the cities and last but most crucial public toilets, especially in Gramin or Rural Areas. However, to tackle this problem, the government of India recently added a Swachh Bharat Mission Gramin toilet online application under its SBM facilities.

One can find this facility, under the Swacch Bharat Mission Toilet List or find the relevant details on the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Toilet Online. Thus, to ensure cleanliness in India, the Government of India has initiated the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan on the 2nd of October, 2014 on the occasion of the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. The father of the nation also used to say that cleanliness or Swachata was next to God and was fundamental in leading a healthy life.

The Broader Importance of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan

"Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan," or the Clean India Campaign, initiated by the Government of India, has been a transformative movement aimed at promoting cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene across the country. While the immediate goal was to achieve a cleaner India, this mission encompasses a broader and more significant importance. In the bustling city of Delhi, where the Swachh Bharat Mission in Delhi has been instrumental, the impact is felt not only in cleaner streets but also in various aspects that contribute to the well-being of its residents.

A Holistic Approach to Health

The link between cleanliness and health is undeniable. The mission's primary focus on sanitation, proper waste management, and access to clean drinking water has led to a considerable improvement in public health. Reduced exposure to contaminated water and unhygienic living conditions has led to a decrease in waterborne diseases and improved overall health in Delhi. Beyond cleanliness, it has been about safeguarding lives and promoting well-being.

Improved Environmental Sustainability

The mission also emphasizes sustainable practices. By promoting clean and green environments, it encourages the responsible use of resources. Waste segregation, recycling, and proper disposal have reduced the burden on landfills, lowering environmental impact. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan is an essential component of India's efforts to meet its sustainable development goals.

Enhanced Tourism and Economic Growth

Delhi, as the capital of India, receives a significant number of tourists every year. A cleaner and more hygienic environment has not only enhanced the city's image but also boosted tourism. Tourists are more likely to explore and spend in places that are clean and well-maintained, which contributes to the local economy. It's not just about sanitation; it's about promoting tourism, attracting investment, and creating job opportunities.

Encouraging Behavioral Change

The mission extends beyond infrastructure and policies; it aims to instill a sense of responsibility and pride in citizens. People are now more conscious of their surroundings, and behavioral change has played a vital role in the success of the Swachh Bharat Mission in Delhi. Citizens and communities have taken ownership of cleanliness, and this mindset shift transcends the campaign itself.

Social Empowerment and Dignity

Access to proper sanitation facilities is a matter of basic human dignity. By providing toilets and clean facilities, the mission has improved the lives of women and vulnerable communities who previously faced challenges due to the lack of sanitation options. It is a step toward ensuring equal rights, safety, and dignity for all residents of Delhi.

Infrastructure Development

The mission has also led to significant infrastructural development. Public toilets, waste management systems, and clean drinking water facilities have improved the overall living conditions in Delhi. This not only adds to the quality of life but also raises property values and makes the city more liveable and attractive.

Community Engagement

Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan has encouraged community engagement and collaboration. People coming together to clean neighborhoods, plant trees, and promote hygiene have fostered a sense of unity and collective responsibility among residents. Communities are more self-aware, self-sufficient, and resilient.

In conclusion, the Swachh Bharat Mission in Delhi is not just about cleanliness in the streets of Delhi or any other city in India. It's a mission with far-reaching importance encompassing health, sustainability, economic growth, behavioral change, social empowerment, infrastructure development, and community engagement. It's about ensuring a better, more dignified, and healthier future for all residents. This mission has been instrumental in making Delhi and the entire nation a cleaner, more sustainable, and brighter place.

Toilet: A luxury For Some

That Toilet is a basic need is something we do not realize since all our homes have not one, but many toilets. But, the importance of toilets was brought home to me when I started Helper4U. When we rented out our first office space, we were on a shoestring budget, and thus had a space constraint. To tide over this, we encouraged girls among our staff to work from home if possible. But, we were amazed to find that they all preferred working from the office rather than from home, even if it meant they could earn more and could also work flexi-time. This was quite surprising because as working women most of us would jump at the opportunity to work flexi-time, not travel, spend more time at home, and still earn more.

Having a Toilet: A luxury for some

On doing some simple research it turned out that the simple reason for this was the absence of a toilet at their homes. All these girls were from slums nearby. They had to use a communal toilet, which was always very dirty, and had no water supply most of the time. Even if all else was well, they had to wait in a queue to use it. That was the first time we realized the impact a toilet can have on people’s lives. Hence we say: Toilet Ek Jaroorat (Toilet is a basic need)

For millions of women, therefore, having a toilet means becoming free: A toilet can be Freedom For Her from so many things. Even for men from slums, it is a luxury. Many drivers come early to work so that they can use the cleaner, and more accessible toilets in the buildings of their employers. This is in stark contrast to the dirty ones in their slums. We, the more blessed ones (with at least one toilet at home) cannot even imagine how not having a toilet can impact the whole life of people, right from what they eat, when they eat, and how they ”go”.

This is not the situation in India alone. Globally, millions still suffer the fear and indignity of relieving themselves in the open or in unsafe or unhygienic conditions — a situation that is most dangerous for girls and women. For more than 1.1 billion women and girls globally, a lack of toilets results in an increased risk of poor health, limited education, harassment, and even attack. WaterAid’s third annual report reveals that women and girls bear the brunt of the Global Sanitation Crisis. Not having access to a toilet puts girls at risk of harassment and attack when finding somewhere to relieve themselves or manage menstruation. Lack of a decent toilet at schools is also a reason for many girls to miss or drop out of school.

How important toilets are for girls can be also gauged from the happy faces of these females posing next to a toilet. Would any of us ever think of posing next to a toilet, leave alone smiling away too?

Some interesting facts about toilets

India tops the list for the longest line for the toilet. While there has been immense progress in improving access to sanitation through the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Mission, there are still more than 355 million women and girls in India waiting for access to basic sanitation. If they would make a line, it would stretch around the earth more than four times.

Around 289,000 children under five die every year from diarrhea related diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. That’s almost 800 children a day, or one child every two minutes.

Between 2000 and 2015, people defecating in the open dropped from 1.2 billion globally. (20% of the global population) to 892 million (12%). Still enough waste is produced in the open to fill seven bathtubs every second.

This World Toilet Day, on November 19, governments are pledging to do their bit. But, how can we homeowners support this basic human right?

One simple suggestion for all homeowners

Allow your domestic Helpers to use your toilets if they need to go. Rather than send them to the road or bushes nearby, allow them to use your toilets. After all, once flushed, the waste goes through the same process, irrespective of who generated it. Similarly, if someone defecates in the open. And in many of our homes, they are the ones cleaning it. And who knows, they may already be using it in your absence. So, allow them to use it, and feel the joy of giving.

We are all prone to diseases, again, irrespective of who generated it, and where. So prevent it the most you can. A simple gesture at your end will help keep the surroundings in our cities clean.

Allow Helpers to Use Your Toilet. Discourage the use of open spaces that are open defecation.

Remember: Having a toilet is a human rights issue. Everyone has a right to health and dignity. Let us pledge to contribute to it the best we can.

India is a country with a rich cultural heritage, and the Modi government has made it their mission to revive the culture of ancient India. This revival has taken many forms, from the construction of new temples to the promotion of Hinduism through RSS.

The Modi government has also sought to promote Indian culture by launching initiatives such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, which aims to make India clean and green. They have also opened up doors for foreign investments in Indian culture-based projects. These efforts are aimed at preserving the values and traditions of India while ensuring that it remains relevant in today's world.

The revival of cultural heritage in India is an ongoing process, and it will take time before its effects can be seen on a large scale. However, with the right support from both citizens and government alike, we can ensure that our cultural values are preserved for generations to come.

REPORT ON SWACHHTA PAKHWADA

‘Cleanliness is as important as ABC- Always be Clean.’

The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has transformed into a vibrant ‘Jan Andolan,’ garnering immense support from citizens nationwide. A key initiative of this movement, the SwachhtaPakhwada, is a fortnight-long program initiated by the Government of India to promote mass participation in cleanliness activities. This initiative has evolved into India’s most significant cleanliness campaign, aiming to make Swachh Bharat a true people’s movement.

In alignment with this mission, Bal Bharati Public School, Noida, one of the best schools in Noida under the aegis of CBSE and through the coordinated efforts of its Health and Wellness Club and Environment Club, observed SwachhtaPakhwada from 1st to 15th September 2024. The program sought to raise awareness about hygiene, sanitation, and environmental conservation through a series of thoughtfully curated activities and campaigns.

The event commenced with a Swachhta Pledge administered to all staff and students during the school assembly on 1st September 2024. This was followed by a Swachhta Quiz, which tested students’ knowledge of cleanliness and environmental sustainability, setting the tone for the days to come.

Swachhta Awareness Day, observed on 2nd and 3rd September, saw the entire school community engaged in a comprehensive clean-up drive. This initiative included de-cluttering old records, discarding broken furniture, and removing unusable equipment.

A Green School Drive was also organized to highlight the importance of tree conservation and plantation. The event was graced by the presence of Shri Manish Kumar Verma, District Magistrate of Noida, who actively participated in the plantation drive alongside students. His words inspired students to understand the urgent need for environmental protection and the preservation of natural resources.

Swachhta Participation Day saw an energetic cleanliness drive within and beyond the school campus. The focus was on collecting and responsibly disposing of Single-Use Plastics (SUP), such as chip packets, plastic pouches, and candy wrappers. This activity sensitized students to the detrimental effects of SUP on the environment and encouraged them to adopt sustainable alternatives. The school’s Green Ambassadors and Eco Warriors carried out a door-to-door campaign to raise awareness about waste segregation and the importance of practicing the 5 R’s: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle.

On 9th and 10th September, Hand Wash Day was observed in Bal Bharati Public School, Noida, known for best infrastructure in Noida with practical demonstrations on proper hand-washing techniques. Teachers emphasized the crucial role of hand hygiene in preventing diseases, encouraging students to spread this vital knowledge within their communities.

Swachh Bharat Mission's Impact on Public Health and Environmental Sustainability

The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), launched in 2014, transcends the conventional boundaries of cleanliness; its ripple effect extends far beyond, significantly impacting public health and environmental sustainability. The mission's holistic approach to sanitation has led to a paradigm shift, addressing critical issues that intersect with public health and environmental well-being.

Improved Public Health Outcomes

A key outcome of the SBM has been the substantial improvement in public health indicators. By promoting access to clean toilets and safe sanitation practices, the mission has mitigated health risks associated with open defecation, preventing waterborne diseases like diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. The rise in the number of households with access to toilets has directly correlated with a reduction in waterborne illnesses, contributing to a healthier populace.

Impact on Environmental Conservation

The mission's focus on waste management and cleanliness has had a profound impact on environmental sustainability. Initiatives to promote waste segregation, recycling, and proper disposal have led to a significant reduction in open dumping and littering. The emphasis on cleanliness has not only beautified public spaces but also prevented environmental degradation, contributing to cleaner air, water bodies, and ecosystems.

Behavioral Change and Sustainable Practices

SBM's success lies in instilling behavioral change and promoting sustainable sanitation practices. Community-driven initiatives, awareness campaigns, and behavioral nudges have led to a cultural shift, with sanitation becoming a social norm. This shift extends beyond cleanliness—it embodies a collective responsibility toward maintaining hygiene, safeguarding public health, and preserving the environment.

Economic Benefits and Social Impact

The mission's multifaceted impact transcends health and environment, also yielding economic benefits. Improved public health outcomes result in reduced healthcare expenditures and increased productivity due to a healthier workforce. Additionally, the mission has empowered marginalized communities, particularly women, by providing them with access to toilets, ensuring their safety, dignity, and paving the way for their active participation in societal activities.

Future Challenges and Sustainable Development

While the SBM has achieved remarkable success, challenges persist. Ensuring the sustainability of the achieved milestones, addressing the need for continuous behavioral change, and maintaining infrastructure quality remain crucial. The mission's evolution toward incorporating emerging environmental concerns, such as climate change, also stands as a pivotal challenge for its future trajectory.

Conclusion: Beyond the Horizon

In conclusion, the Swachh Bharat Mission's impact transcends the realms of cleanliness—it encompasses improved public health, environmental conservation, social empowerment, and economic benefits. By fostering a culture of sanitation and hygiene, the mission has laid the groundwork for a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable India. Its enduring legacy serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of public health, environmental well-being, and societal progress.

India Sanitation Coalition (ISC) has been instrumental in augmenting the broader impact of the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) by complementing its efforts and amplifying its reach in the domains of public health and environmental sustainability.

Advocacy for Holistic Sanitation

ISC has actively advocated for a holistic approach to sanitation, emphasizing the interconnectedness of public health, environmental sustainability, and cleanliness. Through policy dialogues, conferences, and advocacy campaigns, ISC has underscored the importance of integrating these aspects within the SBM framework, fostering a more comprehensive approach to sanitation.

Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building

ISC has been a knowledge-sharing platform, disseminating best practices, innovations, and success stories that illustrate the interconnected impact of sanitation on public health and the environment. By organizing workshops, seminars, and collaborative events, ISC has built capacities, encouraging the adoption of sustainable sanitation practices.

Promoting Innovation and Technology

ISC's focus on innovation and technology has contributed significantly to addressing environmental concerns within the sanitation domain. By fostering partnerships and showcasing innovative solutions, ISC has promoted technologies that aid waste management, recycling, and environmental conservation, aligning with the SBM's objectives.

Community Engagement and Behavioral Change

ISC's initiatives have highlighted the importance of community engagement and behavioral change in sustaining the SBM's impact. By promoting community-driven initiatives, awareness campaigns, and behavioral nudges, ISC has catalyzed a cultural shift towards sustainable sanitation practices, aligning with the mission's objectives beyond cleanliness.

Policy Advocacy and Partnerships

ISC has engaged with policymakers, stakeholders, and implementing agencies to advocate for policies that integrate public health and environmental concerns into sanitation programs. Collaborations with government bodies and private enterprises have resulted in the implementation of policies and programs that address these broader impacts.

Future Directions and Sustainability

ISC continues to play a pivotal role in guiding the SBM towards addressing emerging challenges and ensuring the sustainability of its impact. By emphasizing continual innovation, behavioral change, and the integration of environmental considerations, ISC supports the mission's evolution towards a more sustainable and holistic approach to sanitation.

ISC's contributions to the Swachh Bharat Mission extend beyond conventional cleanliness initiatives. Its emphasis on holistic sanitation, technology-driven solutions, community engagement, and policy advocacy has augmented the mission's impact, amplifying its reach in positively influencing public health outcomes and environmental sustainability.

How to Use Government Schemes and Policies in Your IAS Answers

One of the crucial elements of IAS preparation is effectively integrating government schemes and policies into your answers, especially for the General Studies papers and the Mains examination. Whether it's answering questions related to social issues, economic development, or governance, referencing relevant schemes can significantly enhance the quality and depth of your response. Here’s how you can use government schemes and policies to your advantage during your IAS preparation.

1. Understand the Importance of Government Schemes and Policies

Government schemes and policies are not only important for their direct impact on the public but also as key elements of your IAS exam preparation. The UPSC exam often tests your ability to comprehend, analyze, and evaluate government initiatives aimed at solving national problems. These schemes help you demonstrate your knowledge about the government's actions, making your answers more relevant and comprehensive.

2. Keep Track of Current Schemes and Policies

To effectively use government schemes and policies in your answers, it’s essential to stay updated with current initiatives. The best way to do this is by regularly reading government reports, the Economic Survey, the Union Budget, and reliable news sources. Make a list of key schemes from different ministries and sectors, such as health, education, rural development, and finance, and understand their objectives, beneficiaries, and impact.

3. Incorporate Schemes to Strengthen Your Answers

When answering questions related to socio-economic issues, governance, or any relevant current affairs topic, cite specific schemes that address those issues. For example, if you are asked about poverty alleviation in India, mention schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) or Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Similarly, if the question focuses on women’s empowerment, you can refer to schemes such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao or Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.

Using government schemes and policies not only shows your knowledge of the subject but also helps you present practical solutions that are already being implemented at the ground level. This approach demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical concepts and real-world applications.

4. Analyze the Effectiveness of Schemes

A critical element in using government schemes is to go beyond just listing them. UPSC values candidates who can critically analyze the effectiveness of policies. For instance, instead of merely mentioning the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), you can add a critical evaluation of how the scheme has contributed to improving rural healthcare, or highlight areas where it has faced challenges, such as lack of proper infrastructure or issues with implementation.

This level of analysis shows that you are not just memorizing facts but engaging with the policies on a deeper level, which is crucial for the Mains exam.

5. Link Government Schemes with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Many of India’s government schemes are aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. By linking a government initiative to specific SDGs, you demonstrate a holistic understanding of the country's development agenda. For example, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan ties into SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). This technique adds depth and global relevance to your answers.

Conclusion

To summarize, incorporating government schemes and policies into your IAS answers not only enriches your responses but also showcases your grasp on current affairs and developmental issues. Make sure to update yourself regularly on key government schemes, critically analyze their effectiveness, and connect them to broader national and international goals.

If you are looking to enhance your preparation for the TNPSC exams or seeking expert guidance, consider enrolling at a TNPSC coaching centre in Coimbatore. Professional coaching can provide you with structured learning, expert tips, and the right guidance to ace your exams and shape your career in the civil services.
