Integrated Low Cost Sanitation (ILCS) Scheme started
with the objective of eradicating all dry latrines and thereby
liberating manual scavengers from inhuman practice of carrying night
soil. The scheme also has provision for construction of new latrines for
the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) households who have no latrine
facility.
Sanctions have been made and funds have been released for conversion of all reported dry latrines to the States. Out of the funds available for construction of sanitary latrines to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) households, funds have been fully committed and projects sanctioned for construction of 1,70,337 new latrines and States have reported that work is in progress.
ILCS scheme is in its final year of implementation and the mandate of the scheme was conversion of dry latrines which has been fully achieved with total sanction of projects for conversion of all dry latrines reported by State Governments.
