NEW DELHI: The Government of India has prioritized education of girls’ children and accordingly, launched Swachh Vidyalaya initiative across the country for construction of separate girls’ and boys’ toilets in all government schools.

This information was given by the Union Human Resource Development Minister, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani today in a written reply to a Lok Sabha question.

With the construction of 4,17,796 toilets in 2,61,400 elementary and secondary schools within one year from 15.08.2014 to 15.08.2015 under Swachh Vidyalaya initiative, all government schools now have gender segregated toilets for girls and boys.
