The State Government announced on Wednesday that four districts, 56 developmental blocks, 6,000 gram panchayats and around 11,000 villages had achieved the target set for 'Swachchh Bharat Mission (Rural)' in a record period of time, officials claimed.
The Government had spent about Rs 751.25 crore on achieving the targets before time. There is a sustained campaign in rest of the villages. Senior officials of 185 districts came here on a study tour to implement community-based toilets.
The budget had been allocated as per the speed of building of toilets in various districts.
The district officials are encouraging the citizens in the rural regions to change their mindsets towards environmental cleanliness. The main purpose is to educate masses towards toilets in their residential premises.
The Swachch Bharat Mission was launched on October 2, 2014 to encourage masses to avoid 'Open Defecation'. Chief Minister Raman Singh is determined to make Chhattisgarh 'Open Defecation-Free' by December 2018. The State is likely to achieve the rural targets of 'Swachch Bharat Mission' by June 2018, officials informed.
