Building of Toilets
Though this is a part of Clean India Drive but it requires a special mention. The lack of proper toilet was identified mainly due to it’s two major problems. The first one being the lack of hygiene that certainly fuels spreading of diseases. The second reason emphasised was that the lack of toilet makes it harder for the women of this country to deal with nature’s call. Thus, the project of building 10 crore toilets by 2019 is initiated. The best part is for construction, the government has urged different corporate houses to contribute. With a positive response, many have come forward. TCS has decided to build 10, 000 toilets for girls school across the country while Oriental Bank of Commerce has announced 2 crores contribution. Other business houses have also come forward with their contribution.

Besides helpline numbers, the social media is heavily used by the citizens to take their problems across the government for a prompt action.

It’s Governments plan to take India into the position of world class travel destination. From facilities of visa on arrival to the safety of foreign nationals, different steps are taken to ensure that more tourists are attracted towards India.

With money directly going into bank accounts of the citizens, the need for intermediaries is eliminated which in turn dried up any source of corruption.
Austerity drives in ministers
