​Vizianagaram: For the first time in Andhra Pradesh, the district administration has taken an innovative step to drive the public towards Swachh Bharat scheme. As part of it, the District Collector Vivek Yadav and other officials resolved to construct 10,000 toilets within 100 hours in the district.

The Union government is implementing the individual toilet scheme for every home in rural and urban areas to minimise open defecation.

The government is sanctioning Rs 15,000 to each toilet as grant and the beneficiary is required to add some additional amount to complete the scheme in his house.
Now some of the villages got the tag of open defecation free and now the district administration is planning to get the same tag for 71 panchayats after the completion of construction these 10,000 toilets. For this event, all the staff concerned like Panchayat Raj, rural water supply, revenue and others are deployed in concerned Panchayats and directed to complete the task in successful manner.
The mega event will start at 6 am March 10 and will end at 10 am on March 14.
