India, the world’s second-largest country by population, has the highest number of people (732 million) without access to sanitation, according to a new report.

The report by WaterAid, titled Out Of Order:The State of the World’s Sanitation 2017, further stated that 355 million women and girls lack access to a sanitation. If they were to stand in a line, the queue could circle the Earth more than four times.

India’s low ranking on the sanitation index is despite the changes brought by the government’s Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Mission. Launched in October 2014, it increased the country’s sanitation coverage from 39% to 65% by November 2017, according to government data. In this period, 52 million household sanitation were built in rural India.

The cleanliness campaign has reduced the proportion of people defecating in the open by 40%, meaning more than 100 million people now use sanitation, according to the WaterAid report.

India also ranks sixth among the top ten nations working to reduce open defecation and improving access to basic sanitation. The percentage of population without access to at least basic sanitation fell from 78.3% in 2000 to 56% in 2015, according to the report.

Diarrhoeal diseases kill 60,700 Indian children each year

Each year, 60,700 children under five years die from diarrhoeal diseases, the WaterAid report said.

Diarrhoea remains the second leading cause of death in Indian children under five years, killing an estimated 321 children every day in 2015, as IndiaSpend reported on July 29, 2017, based on a World Health Organization factsheet.

Hookworms, which can spread through open defecation, cause diarrhoea, anaemia and weight loss in women, according to the report. These problems are linked to low birth weight and slow child growth – 38% of children in India under five are stunted, according to the National Family Health Survey, 2015-16, (NFHS-4) data.

Indian states with poor access to sanitation report high incidence of diarrhoeal diseases. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Chhattisgarh had the highest rate of mortality among children under five years of age, higher stunting (low height-for-age) rates and higher prevalence of diarrhoea due to poor sanitation, as IndiaSpend reported on April 26, 2017, based on NFHS-4.

The tables above show the top five and bottom five states based on the percentage of households with improved sanitation, according to NFHS-4. States with higher percentage of improved sanitation have lower levels of anaemia among women (both pregnant and non-pregnant). These states also reported fewer cases of diarrhoea than the national average.

For example, Kerala, which had the highest percentage of households with improved sanitation (98.1%) – the national average was 48.4% – also had the lowest prevalence of diarrhoea (3.4%) and the lowest percentage of women with anaemia (22.6%).

Bihar, with only 25% households using improved sanitation, had the highest prevalence of diarrhoea (10.2%) and the highest percentage of anaemic pregnant women (58.3%).

For women, high risk of illiteracy, harassment

Apart from poor health, lack of sanitation means that more than 1.1 billion women and girls globally get limited education and face harassment. In rural India, high dropout rates and non-enrolment among girls can be attributed to absence of sanitation facilities, as IndiaSpend reported on July 19, 2017.

In rural India, 23% of girls have listed menstruation as the chief reason for dropping out of school. As many as 28% of them said they do not go to school during their period because they lack clean and affordable protection, as IndiaSpend reported on June 19, 2017.

Sanitation policies should cover the needs of those who are vulnerable, said Raman V.R., head of policy at WaterAid India.

“Adolescent girls and women want facilities in which they can manage their periods safely and hygienically,” he said. “Pregnant women need easily accessible and usable toilets, and the elderly or people with disability require toilets with design features that help overcome the physical constraints they typically face.”

I am guessing this is a lie as well? 732 million don't have proper sanitation, but India is rich, India is safe for women and kids, India is great, India is awesome, India is beautiful.

It is funny that you are posting an article that is almost 1 year old... What happened?

no wonder indians are always upset...

Meanwhile Pakistani are busy urinating from the rooftop.

The rooftop of Habib Market on Macleod Road in Lahore reeks of urine as hundreds of shopkeepers, who run their businesses, use the place to answer nature’s call. There is no public toilet near the market.

 

[my2cents]

Will they have proper sanitation on those rockets?

Are you afraid they will dump it on your beautiful country???LOL

 

[Indus Pakistan]

It is indeed.
This report contains figures from early 2015.


You know, Pakistan is way more dependent upon her dispora outside Pakistan than India is. Ask @Indus Pakistan , what is keeping Pakistani economy afloat?

The biggest Industry and the only real industry is people export. Millions of us ex-pats keeps Pakistan afloat. Have a look at the public accounts. The remittances at over $20 billion is what keeps the country afloat. In addition probably another $10 billion comes in through Hawala sources but which feeds into the economy indirectly. The poorest districts in Pakistan are those that have the least foreign expats.

For comparison find me a Pakistan export industry that can match $20/$10 billion? The nearest is the textiles which I think is below $10 billion.

#FakeNews

They are. I knew it was matter of time before Indian's would announce that India was now more sanitation civilized then Sweden. As is Indian want for fake bluster. This is what has happened. The reality is Indian procilivity to crap in the open is more cultural complex then physical. And we know changing mindset takes time. You can't change culture of nearly 1.4 billion in 3-4 years.

The reality of the Hindoo Mind.

Indian want for fake bluster.

There is also an elaborate hoax about moon and mars mission.

They just believe if 1 billion keeps lying. It will become an accepted truth.

It is how it is with these people

Couple of things. Numbers you quoted are a little dated. Things are improving rapidly. The first phase of getting people to implement toilets in their houses is resulting in increased sanitation installations. The next phase is to make it accessible to everybody. Having said that, we are a decade away from visible changes, which will need a re-education program.

Just because toilets were built doesn't mean they're being used for their intended purpose.

Given that Pakistan doesn't have money, water, electricity or toilets for its citizens - I congratulate the person opening the thread.

I agree, maybe you chaps can learn where we went wrong and try it out on the 40% of population without it.

As evident from your post, not much of a think tank and this site has become nothing like it was. Well, life goes on.

Never believe fancy looking infographics at face value. I can make them in five minutes and then churn out my bias against India. Many of these sources even if they look western will have a wobbling head Gangadeshi Patel or a Ab0-Dravidian techie from Tiripurichillsilli, India behind it. Your from Pakistani. Tell me in your district are 40% pooping on the streets? I can tell you in my district we have 99% sanitation.

Here is figure from 2010. Things will have improved by few % since then.


Countries that account for almost three-quarters of the people who practice open defecation:

• India (626 million)
• Indonesia (63 million)
• Pakistan (40 million)
• Ethiopia (38 million)
• Nigeria (34 million)
• Sudan (19 million)
• Nepal (15 million)
• China (14 million)
• Niger (12 million)
• Burkina Faso (9.7 million)
• Mozambique (9.5 million)
• Cambodia (8.6 million).

Note: All the information in this report is based on data available up to and including 2010.

This source is from WHO. In 2010 Pakistan's population was about 180 million. Therefore 40/180=0.22 times = 22%. The real figure for Pakistan in 2010 was -

22%.
