School toilets

Toilets in all types of Government Schools i.e. Primary, Upper Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary and Anganwadis should be constructed. Emphasis should be given on toilets for Girls in Schools. Funding for School Sanitation in a TSC Project is provided by the Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30. The Central assistance per unit will be restricted to Rs.14,000/- for a unit cost of Rs.20,000/- Separate toilets for girls and boys should be provided in all co-educational schools, which are to be treated as two separate units and each unit is entitled to Central assistance upto Rs.14,000/-. State/UT Governments, Parent-Teachers Association and Panchayats are free to contribute from their own resources over and above the prescribed amount.

Anganwadi toilets

(b) Those Anganwadis, which are in private buildings, the owner must be asked to construct the toilet as per design, and, he/she may be allowed to charge enhanced rent for the building to recover the cost of construction. Alternatively, the toilet may be constructed from revolving fund component under the TSC and, suitable deductions made from the monthly rental paid to the owner to recover the cost over a period of time.

(c) For new buildings, which are going to be hired for Anganwadis, only buildings having baby friendly toilet facility should be hired.

(h) Solid & Liquid Waste Management

One of the objectives of TSC is bringing about an improvement in the general quality of life in rural areas. This objective cannot be met if the general cleanliness of villages is not maintained properly. Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs) are required to put in place mechanisms for garbage collection and disposal and for preventing water logging. Upto 10% of the project cost can be utilized for meeting capital costs incurred under this component. The fund sharing pattern between the Centrex, State and Panchayat / Community would be in the ratio of 60:20:20. Under this component activities like common compost pits, low cost drainage, soakage channels/ pits, reuse of waste water, system for collection, segregation and disposal of household garbage etc may be taken up. Successful models may be further replicated dovetailing funds from other Rural Development programmes. NGO cooperation may be sought to develop / test / document / replicate such models.
