And in another three years time, i.e. by 2017, 65 lakh households will have the same.
“In the draft 12{+t}{+h} Five Year Plan (of the State Government), it was mentioned to ensure safe toilet facilities in all households, schools, ICDS centres and public places. The district administration has been rigorously monitoring and intensive field visits being made by district officials are delivering sterling results…,” the Twitter post maintains.
