Grant in Aid over Rs. 7 Crores released for Total Sanitation
Campaign(TSC) in Himachal Pradesh
New Delhi: March 8, 2010
The Department of Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation under the
Ministry Of Rural Development has released funds over Rs.708.40 lakh (
Rupees Seven Crore Eight Lakh and Forty Thousand as grant-in-aid to 4
eligible districts of Himachal Pradesh under the Total Sanitation
Campaign (TSC) for the year 2009-2010. The release is being made to
the Himachal Pradesh State Water and Sanitation Mission to accelerate
sanitation coverage in rural areas and access to toilets for all by
2012 on the basis of priorities set in the guidelines and other
instructions issued from time to time by the Department of Drinking
Water Supply and Sanitation under the Ministry Of Rural Development.
Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC) is a comprehensive programme to ensure
sanitation facilities in rural areas with broader goal to eradicate
the practice of open defecation. TSC as a part of reform principles
was initiated in 1999 when Central Rural Sanitation Programme was
restructured making it demand driven and people centric. It follows a
principle of "low to no subsidy" where a nominal subsidy in the form
of incentive is given to rural poor households for construction of
toilets. TSC gives strong emphasis on Information, Education and
Communication (IEC), Capacity Building and Hygiene Education for
effective behaviour change with involvement of PRIs, CBOs, and NGOs
etc. The key intervention areas are Individual household latrines
(IHHL), School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE), Community
Sanitary Complex, Anganwadi toilets , supported by Rural Sanitary
Marts(RSMs) and Production Centres (PCs). The main goal of the
government is to eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2010. To
give a fillip to this endeavour, government has launched Nirmal Gram
Puraskar to recognize the efforts in terms of cash awards for fully
covered PRIs and those individuals and institutions who have
contributed significantly in ensuring full sanitation coverage in
their area of operation. The project is being implemented in rural
areas taking district as a unit of implementation.
