The Total Sanitation
Campaign (TSC) focuses on awareness generation to create demand
for sanitation facilities. Financial support is given for construction
of individual household toilets by the below poverty line (BPL),
school toilets for all government schools in the rural areas with
emphasis on separate toilets for girls in all co-educational schools,
toilets for Anganwadi and Balwadi centres, Community Sanitary
Complexes for women in villages where land availability with individuals
is a problem and people are ready to own, operate and maintain
such complexes.
