in 1986 with the objective of accelerating sanitation coverage in rural areas.
It was restructured in 1999, exhibiting a paradigm shift in the approach,
and the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) was introduced. Implemented by
the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, the TSC aims to:

b. Accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas through access to toilets
to all by 2012;
c. Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj3 Institutions through
awareness creation and health education;
d. Cover schools and Anganwadis in rural areas with sanitation facilities
by March 2012, and promote hygiene education and sanitary habits
among students;
e. Encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically
safe and sustainable sanitation; and

focusing on solid and liquid waste management.

This summary report attempts to assess the magnitude of public spending on sanitation in India, specifically on the Total Sanitation.
Campaign (TSC), and the quality of spending with regard to the outputs and services delivered. The focus is on understanding the issues that constrain fund utilisation in the Campaign, right from the Union Government to the State Government level, and further down to the district, block, village and the primary unit of service delivery (in this case an individual household, a primary school, or an Anganwadi Centre 2 ). The summary report builds on secondary
data and primary evidence gathered by the Centre for Budget and anitation is included in the 11th Schedule of the Constitution and is the responsibility of the Panchayats. At the district level, the Zilla Panchayat implements the project. Similarly, at the block and village levels, the Panchayat Samiti and Gram Panchayat5 are involved in implementation of the Total Sanitation Campaign. Gram Panchayats play a pivotal role
in implementation along with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to mobilise people for construction of toilets and maintenance of a clean environment by way of safe disposal of waste. They also have the primary responsibility to operate and maintain common facilities constructed. Panchayats can contribute from their own resources for school and Anganwadi Centre’s sanitation facilities, apart from opening and operating the Production Centres and Rural Sanitary Marts.
