Uttar Pradesh has seen a major transformation in rural sanitation under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Over 2.15 crore household toilets were built across the state initially, followed by another 48.99 lakh toilets constructed in the second phase to strengthen rural sanitation infrastructure. The state is also preparing an annual expenditure of approximately 750 crore rupees for maintaining 15.5 lakh drains, septic tanks, and Gobardhan plants. These ongoing efforts have earned Uttar Pradesh the third rank nationally in the Swachh Bharat Mission. Ground visits to Moradabad's Dadori and Mangupura villages demonstrate that the initiative extends beyond toilet construction to include cleaner roads, community toilets, and an active open defecation free drive.
