Children are more receptive to new ideas and schools/Anganwadis are appropriate institutions for changing the behavior, mindset and habits of children from open defecation to the use of lavatory through motivation and education. The experience gained by children through use of toilets in school and sanitation education imparted by teachers would reach home and would also influence parents to adopt good sanitary habits. School Sanitation, therefore, forms an integral part of every RDT Project. Toilets in all types of Government Schools i.e. Primary, Upper Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary and Anganwadis should be constructed. Emphasis should be given on toilets for Girls in Schools.
In addition to creation of hardware in the schools, it is essential that hygiene education is imparted to the children on all aspects of hygiene. For this purpose, at least one teacher in each school must be trained in hygiene education who in turn should train the children through interesting activities and community projects that emphasize hygiene behavior. The expenditure for this purpose can be met from the training fund earmarked for the project.

One Individual Toilet per one Family is costing Rs 10000=00 x 500 = 50,00,000
One Toilet Block in the School with water tank cost Rs. 2,50,000=00 x 20 = 50,00,000
