Nearly half of India’s population defecates in the open, among the highest proportions in the world. Nearly 638 million Indians — half the world’s 1.1 billion people without a toilet — live in India, according to a WHO-UNICEF report. 18% of urban Indians and 69% of rural Indians don’t have access to toilets. The report warned that public defecation is the “riskiest sanitation practice of all” and contributes to serious intestinal diseases. |
