The Toilet Clinic initiative was established to provide community-based solutions for the repair, maintenance, and cleaning of toilets constructed under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Grameen. It addresses the challenges identified during a 2021 retrofitting campaign, where many community toilets in schools and government offices required urgent attention. The program aims to professionalize the fragmented sanitation operations and maintenance market. It seeks to provide trained human resources to ensure the functionality of toilets while addressing health hazards and social stigma faced by sanitation workers. This model offers a sustainable approach to maintaining sanitation infrastructure.
