Rural India has declared itself open defecation free, says PM Modi

"Today rural India and its villages have declared themselves 'open defecation-free'. The whole world is appreciating and awarding us (for) providing toilets to over 60 crore people in 60 months by building over 11 crore toilets. The world is amazed by this," Modi said. When Modi launched the ambitious Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign after becoming the Prime Minister in 2014, he had announced October 2, 2019 as the day India will be open defecation free (ODF).
