In late 2019, the Narendra Modi government attempted to delay and then discredit an official survey that showed sanitation coverage was far lower than it was claimed. Another major government survey has now confirmed the trend: in five states, over one-third of the rural population still lack exclusive access to ‘improved’ sanitation for their households.
In Bihar, for instance, this figure is less than half, shows the data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey, held in 2019-2020. In rural Gujarat, nearly 37% residents do not have access to an improved facility. Kerala is the only state whether the situation on the ground is aligned with administrative data.
About 200 graduating students of Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira came to the Belur campus on Saturday afternoon to collect their degree certificates at a convocation that was held adhering to all Covid-19 protocols.
As the degree recipients stepped on the campus wearing masks, their body temperature was measured with thermal scanners. Rows of foot-operated sanitiser dispensers were put up from the entrance to the campus.
The degree recipients (undergraduate, postgraduate, MPhil and PhD) were split into two groups one group attended the convocation in Vivekananda Sabhagriha and the other in AshaJyoti Conference Hall. This was done to ensure maximum possible physical distance among the attendees. Inside the halls, too, adequate distance was maintained among those present.
