Implementation :

Implementation of TSC is proposed on a project mode.  A project proposal emanates from a district, is scrutinized by the State Government and transmitted to the Government of India (Department of Drinking Water Supply, Ministry of Rural Development).  TSC is   implemented in phases with start-up activities.  Funds are made available for preliminary IEC work.  The physical implementation gets oriented towards satisfying the felt-needs, wherein individual households choose from a menu of options for their household latrines.

The built-in flexibility in the menu of options gives the poor and the disadvantaged families opportunity for subsequent upgradation depending upon their requirements and financial position.  In the “campaign approach”, while a synergistic interaction between the Government agencies and other stakeholders,  intensive IEC and advocacy, with participation of NGOs/Panchayat Raj Institutions/resource organizations, take place to bring about the desired behavioral changes for relevant sanitation practices, provision of  alternate delivery system, proper technical specifications, designs and quality of installations are  also provided  to effectively fulfill the generated demand for sanitary hardware.

The TSC is being implemented with a district as unit. The States/UTs are expected to prepare TSC Projects for all the districts and submit to Government of India for sanction. The TSC Project cycle in the Project Districts is expected to take about 4 years or less for implementation.
