What are the key findings of the World Bank paper on progress made in Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin(SBM-G)?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Swacch Bharat Mission-Gramin(SBM-G) has led to a substantial increase in access to own or shared improved toilets in rural India – from 38% in 2012 to 90% in 2019-20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most low-income States were among the best performers in terms of their overall increase in regular use of toilets and the performance of richer States was mixed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A large increase in toilet use was seen in the poorest 20% of the rural population, which reported toilet use going up from 7% to 43% in between 2015-16 and 2019-21.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, since 2018-19,\u00a0 there has been a clear trend of regular toilet use declining in rural India.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decline in toilet usage was the largest among the SCs and the STs.For instance, there was a 20 percentage point decline in regular use of toilets for the SCs and a 24 percentage point decline for the STs compared to a decline of 9 and 5 percentage points for the Other Backward Caste and General categories.<\/span><\/p>\n

The states where there has been a sustained decline in regular use of toilets since 2018 were Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Himachal Pradesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, states like Odisha, Punjab, Kerala, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and Assam <\/span>were found to be steady performers in terms of continued toilet usage.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
