Open Defecation Free Status

Open defecation poses a serious threat to the health of children in India. This practice is the main reason that India became the highest number of diarrhoeal deaths among children under-five in the world. Every year, diarrhoea kills 188,000 children under five in India. Children weakened by frequent diarrhoea episodes are more vulnerable to malnutrition, stunting, and opportunistic infections such as pneumonia.

As per SBM Guidelines, by 2019 all Urban Towns are to be Open Defecation Free.

The present status of implementation of SBM in urban areas of Arunachal is very encouraging. The State Government is committed to achieve 100% Open Defecation Free (ODF) by the end of 2018 that is one year ahead of Mission Target of 2nd October, 2019. Out of 33 notified towns, we have declared 14 towns as ODF during the year 2017-18, out of which 4 (four) towns viz Tawang, Itanagar, Boleng and Changlang received the Certificate of ODF towns from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as per the report of Quality Council of India (QCI), an independent organisation.
