Improving sanitation in India’s villages, where three out of five people defecate in the open, has proved to be one of the country’s greatest development challenges.
A $1.5 billion World Bank loan will support the Clean India Mission, which is supposed to be the country’s largest-ever drive to improve sanitation.
It aims to end open defecation by Oct. 2, 2019, Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birthday.
