India will achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on Sanitation only by 2054 .
Some state such as Madhya Pradesh & Orissa will reach the target in 2105 & 2160 means Next
Century !

"Unhygienic Condition of Toilets "
According to JMPWSS report which track the progress on drinking water and sanitation status that 17
states had already achieved the MDG target .
In India 51% or 626 million people in the country defecate in the Open , accounting 60% of the
worlds total open defecation
we achieved some good results on safe drinking water but it is limited to some section of people
.
In Rural areas ,91% had no access to sanitation in 1990as against 67% in 2010 .
In rural areas rich had more access to sanitation as compared to economically poor & dalit
section of society which had less access to safe drinking water and sanitation .
4 out of 10 people whi have gained access to improved sanitation since 1990 lives in china or India
.
About 2.5 billion people without improved sanitation too live in these two countries .
A Recent world bank report indicate that economic impact of Inadequate Sanitation in India in 2006
was Rs1.7 trillion and in 2010 Rs 2.4 trillion
