Malegaon is a witness to the transition of a cleaner India to a healthier India. Along with being open defecation free (ODF) today, diarrhoea has also been effectively curbed in Malegaon. 57 open defecation spots in the city have been converted into parks and playgrounds. Malegaon's 1st Lady Commissioner has used stringent methods to make Malegaon an ODF city.
