Discuss the role played by the Swachh Bharat Mission over the past decade in bringing a positive change in the life of women, children and marginalized communities.

Role played by SBM in bringing positive change in life of women, children & marginalized: A Women: i Increased access to toilets resolved privacy concerns ii Rising awareness about sanitation provides secure hygienic life B Children: i Improved child infant mortality rate with improved hygiene & sanitation awareness ii Reduce losses of infections, diarrhea, cholera underage etc C Marginalized community: i Increased access as well as use to toilet which ensued HOI rights to hygienic life ii Rising public toilet park directly about misneed increased access as well as use to toilet which ensued HOI rights to hygienic life

C Marginalized community: i Increased awareness about purity & impurity diminished caste well awareness of lower castes as in mainstream society ii Rising public toilet past directly about missan increased access as well as use to toilet which ensued HOI rights to hygienic life => However challenges still remain: i Despite calling open defecation free, instances of open defecation are visible ii Lack of management of gray water which was one of the goals of swachh bharat iii Despite constructing toilet, people are not using it due to rooted hard cultural beliefs iv Awareness drives under mission are just for social media portrayal

=> Way forward: i Behavioural change (nudge approach) ii Incentivizing based on use of toilet by open defecation free villages iii Managing technicalities like grey water and black water, drainage equipments etc.
