Sikkim has become first state of India to achieve total sanitation under government's total sanitation campaign (TSC). Though there seems to confusion in figures as to what 'total sanitation' means, the central minister for rural developement has announced this while honoring the gram panchayat presidents who had received Nirmal gram Puraskar. He said that Tripura would soon be the second state after Sikkim.
In order to implement TSC, the minister has written to state goverments to amend their respective Panchayat Raj Acts that only those panchayat presidents would be allowed to re-contestwho achieve total sanitation standards in their respective villages. Only Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh have so amended their Acts.
