Earlier this month, on October 2, which marked the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatama Gandhi and was also celebrated as Rashtriya Swachhata Diwas, the government declared the rural areas of India free from the age-old tradition of open defecation. PM Modi addressing the nation that day announced that more than 60 crore people in 60 months have been provided with toilets and the government has made more than 11 crore toilets. He said,

The whole world is amazed by this. I am satisfied that on the occasion of Gandhi at 150, we are witnessing the fulfillment of his dream of ‘Swachh Bharat’. I feel lucky that on this occasion when India has successfully stopped open defecation, I’m here at the ashram.
