New Delhi: Under Swachh Bharat Mission, 480 public toilets will be installed at 80 different locations in Delhi in the next three months.
A decision to this effect was taken last evening at a meeting by Urban Development (UD) Secretary Madhusudan Prasad.
Various models of public toilets, including the hugely popular 'Namma' model being implemented in Tamil Nadu and the ones evolved by Delhi Urban Arts Commission were discussed in detail in the meeting, a senior UD Ministry official said.
The Namma model, made of composite materials, was evolved on the suggestion of former President A P J Adbul Kalam when he was the Principal Scientific Advisor to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1998.
National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) will support part of the expenditure under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Under Swachh Bharat Mission in urban areas, 1,25,398 individual household toilets, 9,156 public toilet seats and 1,982 community toilet seats are to be built by 2019. Besides this, 100 per cent Solid Waste Management is also to be ensured. This is estimated to cost Rs 350 cr.
The meeting was attended by the Chief Executives of NDMC, the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi and DUSIP, Special Secretary, Delhi Government, Chairman of Delhi Urban Arts Commission and other senior officials.
