The summit is very much aligned to ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ (Clean India Initiative) of our visionary Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. We have decided to be an active participant of this noble mission to support in creating national level forum to discuss various issues connected to the Toilet and Sanitation, health, education, woman empowerment and behavioral change for wider social good. We believe that the summit would highlight the problems allied with a lack of sanitation and toilets and would also adopt resolutions to achieve Nation sanitation goals by 2019 as a tribute to the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, by eliminating the unhealthy practice of Open Defecation.

Sanitation for all and provision of Toilet in every household is prime agenda of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. On the occasion of Independence Day, in his speech Shri Narendra Modi again stressed that toilet is ‘dignity of woman’. In his first address to nation Shri Narendra Modi urged parliamentarians and the corporate sector to help build separate toilets for girls in schools across the country by next year.
Despite 64 years of rural development, 60% of India’s rural population defecates in open either due to lack of toilets, lack of their Operation and Maintenance, due to absence of water or inappropriate technology with no scientific mode of digesting the waste, leading to rural men questioning the usefulness of toilets. In the last 60 years only 32% rural families in 2011 (as per census figures) and 40 %.( NSSO figures of 2013) have rural toilets.
