Do you know how many toilets have been built in Swachh Bharat Mission?

Swachh Bharat Mission started on October 02, 2014. So recently I filed an RTI application to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to know what is going on in area of decreasing open defecation. I tried to know the effectiveness of Swachh Bharat Mission from its beginning till now.

So basically they sent me all the details related to Swachh Bharat Mission Urban which are quite satisfying. All the details are as of on 02 July 2018.
Total number of Individual House Hold toilet(IHHT): 4928432 nos.
Total number of Community and Public Toilet (CT/PT): 350650 nos.
I also asked then the cost which the central government invested in constructing these toilets per year since 2014. Its details are as below:
All amount is in INR Crore
You will find maximum amount of these five years was spent in session 2016-17 i.e. 699.1117+157.6001 = 856.7118 Crore Rupees.
In these five years till now government has spent in total around INR 2300.3828 Crore in IHHT and INR 512.4226 on CT/PT toilets. So in total it comes around INR 2812.8054 crores in five years. As time is still left in current session so we can expect more fund of INR 300-400 crore in the leftover session. 
I think to me the progress is quite good. I had discussion on this application reply with editors of some prominent news papers they also told me that the release of funds for construction of toilets has been easier in comparison to previous government schemes like Nirmal Bharat. Though this number is not that big in comparison of our population requirements but I find it a good start. These values given above are just for Urban sector only. Soon I will also publish facts related to rural development. I hope you like these facts on fund release which you might not be even finding in news papers till now. Tell me how you guys feel over these findings? What are your views on this? Is this start is a good sign?

Indore is actually the cleanest city of India

First of all, I welcome you on my blog. This is my first post. So I thank you for your time. Recently I had a chance to visit Indore which is located in heart state of India Madhya Pradesh. I was very excited because I was visiting Indore for a great cause. I was invited by Google for a Google Search Conference which was held in Indore Marriott. I reached Indore one day before the conference so that I can explore Indore. So I had heard a lot about cleanliness of Indore after the Clean India Campaign started. Indore came first in Clean India Survey conducted by Government of India. So I thought I will actually like to verify it today whether Indore is really that clean. On my way when I entered Indore roads were really very clean. That was the first instance where I realized that Indore is little different than other cities. Roads were very clean and lot of trees have been planted on roadsides. And it does not end here. I reached my hotel in Vijay Nagar around 10 AM. After ge...

When you actually meet your Achchhe Din

Image
Recently my parents visited my city Pune and we went for a holy trip to Shirdi, Shani Shingnapur, Nashik,Triambakeshwar and Mumbai. I will tell you about the instances where I felt that these days were actually my Achchhe Din. So my parents landed at Pune airport at around 0430 hours early in the morning. I booked an OLA cab for them as they themselves asked me not to come for pickup. So now-a-days these cab services have been given a pick-up zone at the airport so to get pickup people need to go to these points like Ola have Ola pickup zone. So asking my parents to search for such zone was not a good idea in early morning in their first time visit. So I booked this cab and called the driver. I asked him that you should pick my parents from arrivals gate. Firstly he hesitated but then I requested him and he accepted. In 15 minutes my parents were at my door. So this was the beginning. So sometimes these cab services actually do us a favor. My parents enjoyed the day in Pune. Then in...
