Open Defecation and Height of Indians

Indians are shorter than they should be, and this pattern of stunted growth cannot be explained by genetics, poverty or lack of food.

Being born and brought up in a place where open defecation is common means that guts are constantly being damaged by faecal pathogens and parasites. Undernutrition sets in, leaving kids more vulnerable to infections, which in turn make them more malnourished. Energy is diverted from cognitive development, lowered intelligence compromises the ability to earn and poverty is entrenched.

By one estimate, open defecation costs India a staggering 6.4 per cent of its GDP. more

Ms Gupta , Since decades this has become part of our society . In last more then 6 decades spreading awareness to build & use toilets was never on agenda by any Government . Now it has started from core level by very pro active Modi Government . We unitedly must try our best to spread this awareness to use toilets . This shall save millions of man hours , medicine bills , hospitalization and restore dignity especially of women . more

Poor maintenance of Public Toilet is the main cause & Public Toilets are inadequate. People who donate Lakhs of Rupees for temple can very well donate to build Toilet on Corporation land. more

It is a bitter fact. Please forgive me if anyone is hurt by the above comment It was initially indigestible for me too more

On one side, open defecation is due to lack of proper toilet facilities and public toilets On the other side, where public toilets and sanitation facilities are available but we find many people urinating on roadsides and gutters. I asked them that why were they urinating in open places inspire of having sanitation facilities. I was shocked by the answers of many of them, they were saying that they enjoyed urinating in open environment. Some said they were enjoying nature while urinating in public places. Some says it gives them pleasure while urinating in open places. We can't change our country where people are of such mindsets. First the mindset should change, then automatically nation develops. more
