Having collected the swechha bharat cess, why to depend on others to construct Latrines ??? Let the Latrines constructed be put to use. In many places, latrines are under lock and key and awaiting ribbon cutting by VIPs. Why ???? more  
It is good to list the activities to be undertaken by Religious Leaders. However, its implementation is an issue. Any suggestions on how to rope them in this mission? more
