India Ranks No 1.

[Windjammer]

NEW DELHI — India’s rural development minister is pushing a campaign on public hygiene, after a recent survey revealed that India accounts for 58 percent of the world’s population practicing open defecation.

Jairam Ramesh says the revelation is a source of national shame and a “sad commentary” on society’s failure to address the issue through education and better sanitation.


The government says it spends $350 million a year to build rural toilets, but some 638 million still rely on fields or quiet corners.

The UNICEF report puts China and Indonesia in second place, with each representing 5 percent of the world’s 1.1 billion open defecators.

Ramesh said Sunday that ***** was polluting the environment as well as public spaces, and Indian rivers had become sewers.

Slums are not exactly the major reason for this. 70% rural population is. Ever been to a traditional village? There is a reason people there have special "lotas" ).

But it's true that it needs to change.

In Malaysia, 98 per cent of the rural population has access to sanitation. This nearly universal sanitation access has resulted in a dramatic fall in incidence of cholera, dysentery, and typhoid.

On topic, both India and Pakistan need to buck up when it comes to cleaning up their mess lol.

It is related with topic only in Indian subcontinent.

You post 10 off-topic in every Indian related thread every hour. This is forum and same topic is covered. I didn't talked anything about Taliban or US.

It's on-topic. We're talking about sanitation in general and for comparison purposes, King brought this useful article which has the sanitation data for so many countries.

 

[King123]

32% in India and it will become 0% by 2022 with the help of various plan.

In Pakistan, It's 71% with no time-line of improvement

Report as per WHO/UNSEF

Difference is double. Pakistan is ranked No. 1
