The government is looking at 100 per cent availability of toilets at schools by this month as part of its ambitious Swachh Bharat campaign, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today.
"Our initial target is that all schools, particularly where the girl child goes, by June, that is this month, we should have a 100 per cent rate of toilets.
"It has been included as a part of the CSR (corporate social responsibility) programme. A lot of incentives in our fiscal policy have also been announced," Jaitley said at the Swachh Bharat programme adopted by Jubilant FoodWorks, the owner of the famous fast food chain Domino's Pizza. He termed Swachh Bharat as "a preventive health care programme".
