In 2016, upwards of 96.5% of country basic government schools in India had toilets, however more than one of every four toilets (27.79%) were useless or bolted, as indicated by information gathered for the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER), a native drove overview on the status of rudimentary instruction in rustic India. Around 68.7% of schools had working latrine offices for understudies.

In 2016, the ASER review was led in 589 out of 619 country Indian areas, and surveyors went to 17,473 schools. ASER has been gathering information on water and sanitation foundation in schools since 2009.

The extent of schools with toilets expanded 7.43 rate indicates from 2010 2016. Utilitarian toilets have expanded 21.45 rate focuses in a similar period. In any case, the rate of advance is currently abating, and government organizations don't gather information on useable toilets– that is if existing offices are working and useable.

India's National Sample Survey, the District Information System for Education (DISE), and the Census, which are the principle wellsprings of information on water and sanitation-related pointers, don't gauge the convenience of sanitation foundation.

The working and use of sanitation offices is overlooked due to an overemphasis on the accessibility of this framework. In states where the hole amongst accessibility and usefulness is massive–a regular event in north-eastern and focal states–focusing just on accessibility of toilets can be deluding to strategy creators and investigators.
