Sir it is not necessary to construct concrete toilets. They can be shared with particular areas Such as nearest in Petrol Pumps in-case of National Highways and state Highways. Also it not be necessary to have fancy toilets. A simple fixed porta-cabin based can also be design with capable of taking larger public and focus should be more on sanitary & general maintenance of it.

Toilet maintenance and that too in rural backdrop is a headache. People prefer "behind bushes". If profit becomes motive then they will use toilets and keep them clean. The nutrients in human waste can be a great food for aquatic micro-crop "duckweed" which has high protein content. This can be isolated, fed to cattle or fish in the adjoining pond(s). Can make ₹1,00,000 to 2,00,000 per family and will encourage them to use toilets. They will invite passers-by also to "use" their toilet- profit!

People avoid using public urinals in cities due to the unpleasant smell which is mainly due to lack of proper flushing. Waterless urinals can be used in place of normal urinals. One of such urinals is developed by IIT Delhi. More details can be found in the file attached below.

Construction of toilets at every villages should be given as a responsibility of the village panchayat ward members. Portion of their ward development fund release should be linked to the construction of toilets in respective wards. Monthly maintenance of the same should be audited by the villagers.

The govt has to set up a separate team responsible for below task: identification- Places like bus stop,railway station etc. Analyse and find solution - Every place identified will not be of the similar nature so has to be dealt differently like introduction of movable sanitation in villages is recommended. Execution & Maintenance - This is the most important part, once the plan is set proper monitoring with responsibility and accountability in the system will solve majority of the problem.

In cities, toilets be constructed around market places and nominal fee be levied for usage. On highways, petrol pumps must be encouraged to maintain good toilets and allow charging nominal fees for usage. On railway stations, the toilets must be built on every platform and regular staff be employed for keeping it clean. In villages, people must be encouraged to construct toilets at their home. For this the government can give monetary help + rewards.
