With out proper toilet facility there is no approval of Govt to Schools. Toilet facility is not a problem in the private School. It is the problem with Govt schools only. Govt giving the money to construct the Toilet to schools but due to non-maintenance of the toilets it will UN-hygienic after few days. There will be proper mechanism to maintenance of the toilets of the Govt schools.

“Various researches and studies have shown that dearth of girl friendly toilet in school premises is one of the reasons for girl students’ dropping out of schools. “In the absence of separate toilets for girls and boys, many girl students do not attend school regularly. Therefore, the government has given priority to construction of girl-friendly toilet.. so toilets where menstruating girls can change thier pad need to be installed.

A share of the GDP for Education should be provided for construction and maintenance of toilets in schools. No new schools should be set up unless they have these facilities. Adding these facilities to existing schools should be done at priority. Construction and maintenance of toilets in school can also be done under populists schemes like NREGA coupled with direct benefits transfer. Portable toilet vans can also be utilized for immediate support in this cause.

In toilets sanitary napkins should be provided. I understand the Gov can't take every burden. In that case this facility should be made a paid service as there is a possibility of low cost sanitary pads. Man named Arunachalam Muruganantham, can be contacted to make low cost sanitary pads. Got to know about him from Satyamev Jayate. It is very important to introduce this facilty in Toilets as mostly girls drop out after puberty.

1. A school, government or private, should be granted approval by relevant bodies only if it has proper toilet facilities for both girls and boys. These approvals should be reviewed annually. 2. Toilet manners should be taught as part of study curriculum.

1. In rural areas multiple toilets should be constructed in the school premises itself. 2.The boys and girls toilet should be separately constructed at opposite sides of the school. 3. There should be a woman for the cleaning and maintenance purpose. 4. The duty hours of the woman staff should be as same as school hours. 5. There should be adequate water pumping system with generators to ensure continous water supply. Thanks to PM Modi ji for the web site. jai hind

Issue is different in rural and urban area. Probably gram panchayat shall be involved for creation and maintaining the sanitation facility near schools And they can be allowed to charge petty amounts of 50 rupees monthly to keep the user slightly accountable for maintaining the aminities

Teach the students about health education and how to prevent such problem, even how to keep surroundings clean. Moreover Campus maintenance and cleanness should be a part of extra curriculum activities for both teacher & students.Our Dept had applied this formula,and we got success in it. Planning for such program should be proper, to avoid sensitive issues, as per the society.

Construction should be mandatory responsibility of the school management. Maintainanace can be done by the group of people fit for the job, who could be controlled by the class monitors of the respective class , where one male & other female would be abided by the duty of supervising in use,cleaning & maintenace of toilets .Children must first be taught of how to use toilets also .
