(a) Yes Madam.
(b) State/UT wise percentage of Households with unusable (defunct) toilets as per the Baseline Survey 2013, is at Annexure-1. Under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), there is no provision for providing financial Incentives to households which have earlier been provided Incentives for the construction of toilets, and which have now become defunct. However, households not eligible for Incentives at this stage, are to be motivated through Information , Education and Communication (IEC) and Inter Personal Communication (IPC) interventions, to build their own toilets.
