World Bank Loan to Make India Open Defecation Free
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.
