Toilet craze gains momentum in Swatchh Bharat – officials to inspect toilets in schools

#NarendraModi #SwatchhBharat #toilets The toilet craze under the Swatchh Bharat campaign is gradually gaining momentum because the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unhappy with the progress in building toilets in schools. A decision has, therefore, been taken by the government to send across senior officials to get valuable first-hand knowledge on whether schools have toilets with water facilities.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 9 July 2015.

Nearly 300 senior officials of Central government of the rank of director and deputy secretary have gone to different states for "spot inspection" of toilets in schools. They will have to submit the report by next week. These ‘observers’ have to visit 15 schools in urban areas and 10 in rural areas to verify whether toilets have been built with water facilities. In the report, they will have to give details of the separate toilets built for boys and girls in the schools they inspect.
It may be recalled that while addressing the nation on the Independence Day last year the Prime Minister had said, "There should be separate toilets for girls. Next year, when we stand here, every school should have toilets for girls and boys."
He had urged all parliamentarians to invest from their constituency funds on building toilets in every school.
