As an expansion to Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has received Rs2.75 crore to build toilets for the individuals and community. To maintain transparency, there would be no involvement of middle man and that the beneficiary would receive the amount at different phases of construction.

People to toilet ratio of the country is dismal, as 48 per cent of India's urban population has no access to toilets. The average ratio of people to toilets is 8:11 in the citym, which needs to be improved and TMC's plan to install toilets would certainly improve the ratio.

Under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, TMC's detailed survey too, has been completed with the help of TMC officials. As per the survey, near about 1.12 lakh and 337 households in the slum have been identified without toilets.

TMC civic chief, Sanjeev Jaiswal said, "We have not involved any contractor and that money would be given directly to the beneficiary at a certain phase of construction. Both centre and the state would help for the project and for the first phase, we have received Rs2.75 crore. As there is no middle man, we expect transparency in the work and maximum people would be benefited.

Apart from toilets for the individuals, Jaiswal has also plans to install mobile toilets and to have a separate design for a busy and non-busy junctions in the city, with separate facility for men and women. The mobile model would be compact and portable, with all required amenities.

The proposed mobile model for the community is economical, which aims at minimum wastage of water and is easy to operate under different climatic conditions.
