Whenever someone criticizes that family or its policies, they resort to insults instead of presenting rational arguments. The hypocrisy is unreal. 🤣
I remember when Mr Modi had launched the toilets building scheme as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission, not only opposition leaders but so-called experts and journalists had ridiculed it and some had mockingly reported that the newly built toilets are being used as store rooms, cattle sheds, or for anti-social activities. They would also write how lack of water had made them ineffective, while totally ignoring the improvement at the ground level. Now Mr Gupta needed a certificate from a foreign publication to discover the benefits that have flown from it. Reduction in infant mortality rates is only one facet of the manifold benefits. There are many others. I request Mr Gupta to send his reporters to visit distant parts of the country and send dispatches, instead of waiting for another publication to write about them.
So true. Only after a foreign publication says something will our eminent journalists open their eyes. Data is mostly from Govt sources and Birth/ death registration. These were available to Indian journalists too all this while. However the Lutyens gang was always mocking this initiative.
it also means that congress govt caused millions of infant deaths for not taking this initiative until Modi. Rahul should offer appology for this congress shameful acheivement.
@@bidyutbikashsaikia1140 listen to what shekhar is saying in the video again carefully my fellow indian brother. The drop in infant mortality directly attributable to the toilet construction is 5.6 ;This alone translates into 60 thousand children saved in a year.

What a great success story! The improvements in cleanliness and sanitation in India within a span of less than a decade is mind boggling.

In my native village, I had seen poor villagers opened bank accounts, got direct money without having to visit Taluk office many times, pay money to get money etc. some got cylinders, some built homes/toilets too. Clear visible change in last 10 years, compared to past few decades. What Rajiv Gandhi said in parliament in 1980s that out of every one rupee spent, only 15 paise reach poor was true and it's to credit of Modi government that they have hugely improved the delivery system. it's unfortunate that neither voters nor BJP made it part of the campaign. in a way, people vote based on some issues, that do NOT improve their lot
True, but the same BJP also attacked people for eating beef and meat, menstruation women entry into temple etc. You cannot promote food terrorism and be a anti-women. Your assumption that voters are fool not true. I personally think that the politics of Yogi has impacted the BJP.
@@vinsin328did they make a law that everybody in India will only be vegetarian? Infact in NE BJP encourages beef. Are they restricting women going in every temple? SC gave order for allowing Women into Ayyappa temple which is a specific tradition due to rules of the God there in that roopam. In other roopam of Ayyappa swamy women are allowed. There are some temples where men aren't allowed. Is it because discrimination against men or because rules of the Devi? Kerala Govt has been hesitant to agree to implement that ruling. What has it got with BJP except they took a stance on this? They nitpick these issues while ignoring that no woman in any age or any place is allowed into mosques. But nobody cries discrimination there because of religious sentiments. But nobody cares about religious sentiments of Hindus?! Why diff rules for diff ppl when they claim to be secular?
@@vinsin328Did BJP pass law that from now on every citizen will be vegetarian? Infact they promise beef in NE check for yourself. Are they restricting women going to all temples?

It is just a religious tradition for that particular temple and roopam of Ayyappa Swamy. There are many Devi temples where men aren't allowed. Is it because of discrimination or because of tradition? Men cannot be allowed into women's hostels not because of discrimination but because of privacy and rules of that place. People nitpick these issues while ignoring that no women of any age is allowed into any mosque. Why SC doesn't rule to allow women into mosques isn't it their right as equal citizens of India? But nobody cries discrimination because it may hurt religious sentiments. But same sensitivity towards religous sentiments of Hindus is not there. why? Why diff rules for diff ppl when you claim this to be a secular nation? Those are just eyewash points for propagandists.
😂 modi is build toilet and saved 1000of Life's. Great. But my question is 🥲 Untill 2014, is there no toilet?? What congress did in 60 year's??? divided Hindus on the basis on caste !!!
There was no scheme to build toilet, so in rural areas people don't prefer to build that but NDA gov't started giving money for building toilet plus direct transfer scheme also helped, it reduced corruption involved in it .
Before that Brahmavadi used to oppose that as that is a western culture, not Indian and then the question what will the dalits do? Hindus are divided by BJP in the name of food habits not by Congress.
I have personally seen the progress early on in Modi's first term in my grandmother's village many toilets were constructed for unprivileged by the central govt scheme. Even the house building scheme(not able to recall the name) was availed by a few poor people.
I beg to differ on the very last part. This is not an unintended consequence, rather it is well thought of. The government had a clear vision that stopping open defacation would result in numerous benefits including less infant deaths.
Exactly, a major cause of Infant Mortality was water borne diseases, caused majorly by open defecation. Lack of clean water is still a problem, especially in cities.
Apart from toilet building electricity in village increased the productivity of village area. Now we can see shop upto 9 o clock. Furniture making with electricity construction work with electricity irrigation. Earlier it was very difficult. In my village only 20-25℅ had electricity by 2015-16 now it is almost 100℅
This goes to show that every initiative takes time to succeed in India because it takes so long to reach every corner of the country. In few years, those who are criticising now, will heap praises on National Education Programme, Agnipath Scheme, CAA and hopefully the lateral entry policy if implemented.
As usual, very well made piece. Nature is highly reputable research journal. Good to see a scientific study with encouraging results for downtrodden. Thanks a lot to Shekhar ji and his team for enlightening us.
We still have very very far to go for Swach Bharat to be a success. Swach Bharat should not end at merely eliminating open defecation. Civic sense and public cleanliness is something that needs to be engrained in the minds of one and all. This is something that needs to be worked upon on a more social and cultural level, rather than economical.
Good News is The News!😊 "Swachch Bharat Abhiyan' is one of the much needed initiative! In my city it made an impact. Ultimately it is in the hands of people to make it successful.
Good to see a rare Cut the Clutter, that is positive and appreciative of the efforts of the govt and various agencies. The Print needs to bring out more such positive initiatives to light and not be be like other rubbish content creators.
Environmental Beautification coupled with proper hygiene sanitation and disinfection...is the way. Promotes local tourism and mental wellbeing. Swatcchata is a multifactorial benefit
Before 2014 dalit community was used to fight for water near my home but after Narendra Modi ji became the prime minister tap water come into the dalits home itself through jal Jeevan mission Modi for a reason❤❤ The BJP does hindutv politics but they never ever discriminated other community at all
BJP and Brahmavadi are against those.Health and Nutrition means beef and meat. Education - means scientific temper. Environment - against cow shelters.
I am in Canada. There are no public toilets in Canada. Kudos to Indian government on this front. When they good work, we should appreciate. When they do hindu muslim, we should criticise as much as possible.
I'm with you on this point. But a good time to reflect on who starts it first. Is it not the Congress that sets the Muslims against Indians by open appeasement politics. Makes even a secular guy like me with libertarian leanings against Congress -I /Mamata Banerjee types of politics. They empower a minority to hold Democracy to hostage by fear mongering. That's the playbook they have practiced for 7 decades.
India will remember Narendra Modi for next 500 yrs. for leading our people for better basic amenities & its' tremendous advantages. We are fortunate to see this living legend ruling our Nation in our lifetime. Alas, people would see & understand the nefarious cast divide design of Rahul Gandhi by his repeated foolish rhetorics.
Amidst the clamour for lateral entrants and polivy around them, its important to remember that Param Iyer was a lateral entrant who joined from World Bank and ensured lives of millions of Indians improve. We should be hiring anyone and everyone who can help drastically improve the lives of Indians irrespective of their caste background.
Giving importance to toilet was a good step , but in North Karnataka open defecation is rampant but the panchayat members of INC,BJP,JDS backed candidates looting money from the central government by colliding with the corrupt babus , south Karnataka swatch Bharat is effectively implemented but it failed miserably in most districts of north Karnataka.
North Karnataka belongs to only 5 families, north Karnataka people treats every politicians , PA , panchayat members as gods , no one protests against them in north Karnataka,but is completely different in coastal Karnataka and south Karnataka
Simple ways to boost Human Development and decrease poverty = clean water, sanitation, affordable food, clean electricity, cooking gas, easy access to health services, simple good education. It's bad that it took 70 years for GOI to provide these basic necessities. The SBM will prove revolutionary as we go ahead.
Unfortunately, outcome of this Toilet building scheme has not been publicised and so general people will fall for the various khata khat freebie schemes proposed by Congress.
Shelhar Ji. Thanks for bringing out this video and bringing out this valuable nugget of information from the vast clutter available now. But, I would like to point out that IMR statistics are "per thousand" and not "per cent" as you keep saying.
Massive achievement for India. I remember how uncomfortable it used to be to reach our village in the evening or at night. Roads used to be crowded with women, and open defecation was not only a health issue but also a matter of social disempowerment. In the long run, an ordinary person will always choose freedom over a lot of money without social freedom. I believe SBM has given social freedom to our people, especially women. The current government may have differences of opinion with some, but the uniformity of plans and schemes is completely irrespective of a person's background. One can call for a caste census to show temporary adventurism, but what after that? Do they have a plan to accommodate those left out in Socio-economic empowerment? It's a big no (based on historical data of 60 years). In the end, political or economic empowerment alone, or even both, are meaningless without social empowerment, and schemes like SBM are achieving that.
Sir the good thing about you I feel is that you teach us and not speak as a journalist and maintains a good balance with the news. The problem with some other journalists on TH-cam is that they looks radical towards the govt all the time which if anybody listens everyday will go in depression😂😂. Love u sir❤❤
This is what keeps Shekhar so credible- his content is not driven by what his ideology- it’s driven by data and facts and hence hated and loved by both sides. Huge kudos to Shekhar and his team to stay committed to facts. And I will say the same thing when it trashes BJP!
A great breakdown of the report but I think the video description is misleading. Scientific reports is a subsidiary journal of Nature publications and its impact factor is much lower compared to an article published in the actual Nature journal. Not discrediting the study and analysis in any means but it is ‘a study published in Scientific reports’. Also, really appreciate you showing and discussing the graphics and their interpretations! Something which is the need of the day (opinion of a PhD in medical sciences).
This is one of the feathers on the cap of Modhi govt,among many others. , ensuring drinking water in all house holds, free distribution of cooking gas for all, irrespective of caste, religion, creed, language ,so EFFICIENTLY in short period of time -- considering the mammothness ofthe peblem. -- and none complained about the implementation,is a SUPERHUMAN ACHIEVEMENT. Guptaji, you are staunch congress supporter, Rahul promoter. ,can you sight a SINGLE ,achievement by any of the several Congress govts in the history of Free India ? Modhiji is definitely a super man, he does astonishing things so smartly, with the same beaurocracy as the ones before. Iam neither BJP or Sanghi, but a very old citizen who is watching things since the sixties.
Nicely done SG. A couple of comments. IMO, the job of the media is also to hold government accountable by reporting good, bad and inactions. I think, a bit more context on why Modiji launched the Swattch Bharat (e.g. women safety, convenience, etc.) and adding a bit more detail on what the results have been would have been helpful too. Overall this is A-.
One of your feel good stories. Please bring out more of these. A coverage of similar schemes like Ujjwala, Jandhan, etc, with empirical data, would be enlightening.

In my native village, I had seen poor villagers opened bank accounts, got direct money without having to visit Taluk office many times, pay money to get money etc. some got cylinders, some built homes/toilets too. Clear visible change in last 10 years, compared to past few decades. What Rajiv Gandhi said in parliament in 1980s that out of every one rupee spent, only 15 paise reach poor was true and it's to credit of Modi government that they have hugely improved the delivery system.
it's unfortunate that neither voters nor BJP made it part of the campaign. in a way, people vote based on some issues, that do NOT improve their lot
True, but the same BJP also attacked people for eating beef and meat, menstruation women entry into temple etc. You cannot promote food terrorism and be a anti-women.
Your assumption that voters are fool not true.
I personally think that the politics of Yogi has impacted the BJP.
@@vinsin328did they make a law that everybody in India will only be vegetarian? Infact in NE BJP encourages beef. Are they restricting women going in every temple?
SC gave order for allowing Women into Ayyappa temple which is a specific tradition due to rules of the God there in that roopam. In other roopam of Ayyappa swamy women are allowed. There are some temples where men aren't allowed. Is it because discrimination against men or because rules of the Devi? Kerala Govt has been hesitant to agree to implement that ruling. What has it got with BJP except they took a stance on this? They nitpick these issues while ignoring that no woman in any age or any place is allowed into mosques. But nobody cries discrimination there because of religious sentiments. But nobody cares about religious sentiments of Hindus?! Why diff rules for diff ppl when they claim to be secular?
@@vinsin328Did BJP pass law that from now on every citizen will be vegetarian? Infact they promise beef in NE check for yourself.
Are they restricting women going to all temples?
SC ruled to allow women in Ayyappa Swamy temple which Kerala Govt has been hesitant to allow. But it is not a matter of discrimination. It is just a religious tradition for that particular temple and roopam of Ayyappa Swamy. There are many Devi temples where men aren't allowed. Is it because of discrimination or because of tradition? Men cannot be allowed into women's hostels not because of discrimination but because of privacy and rules of that place.
People nitpick these issues while ignoring that no women of any age is allowed into any mosque. Why SC doesn't rule to allow women into mosques isn't it their right as equal citizens of India? But nobody cries discrimination because it may hurt religious sentiments. But same sensitivity towards religous sentiments of Hindus is not there. why? Why diff rules for diff ppl when you claim this to be a secular nation?
Those are just eyewash points for propagandists.
@@vinsin328no need to ban beef or pork in any country, no need for only halal beef or certification also
Amazing work by Modi govt. and amazing research. Thank you The Print.
😂 modi is build toilet and saved 1000of Life's.
Great.
But my question is
🥲 Untill 2014, is there no toilet??
What congress did in 60 year's???
divided Hindus on the basis on caste !!!
Correct. Rural India was a big open air defecation area.
There was no scheme to build toilet, so in rural areas people don't prefer to build that but NDA gov't started giving money for building toilet plus direct transfer scheme also helped, it reduced corruption involved in it .
Before that Brahmavadi used to oppose that as that is a western culture, not Indian and then the question what will the dalits do? Hindus are divided by BJP in the name of food habits not by Congress.
I have personally seen the progress early on in Modi's first term in my grandmother's village many toilets were constructed for unprivileged by the central govt scheme.
Even the house building scheme(not able to recall the name) was availed by a few poor people.
@@vinsin328 What law has been passed against whose food habits?
Modi knows the problems of common people and thus was able to think of such schemes. That can't be said of most congress PMs.
Really SG is finding hard to appreciate the government
I beg to differ on the very last part. This is not an unintended consequence, rather it is well thought of. The government had a clear vision that stopping open defacation would result in numerous benefits including less infant deaths.
Exactly, a major cause of Infant Mortality was water borne diseases, caused majorly by open defecation. Lack of clean water is still a problem, especially in cities.
Apart from toilet building electricity in village increased the productivity of village area. Now we can see shop upto 9 o clock. Furniture making with electricity construction work with electricity irrigation. Earlier it was very difficult. In my village only 20-25℅ had electricity by 2015-16 now it is almost 100℅
This goes to show that every initiative takes time to succeed in India because it takes so long to reach every corner of the country. In few years, those who are criticising now, will heap praises on National Education Programme, Agnipath Scheme, CAA and hopefully the lateral entry policy if implemented.
Therefore Modi should rule for 70 years
Modi has been proven again to be great leader for the country. We have missed leadership focused on the nation almost since independence.
We use railway track with lauta but we need Free electricity, free bus ride and 😊 caste census
Good selection of subject for ctc, SG and team. Kudos to government officials for their achievements.
Thank you, Hari, for watching and writing in. I'm glad you liked this episode...best wishes, Shekhar
As usual, very well made piece. Nature is highly reputable research journal. Good to see a scientific study with encouraging results for downtrodden. Thanks a lot to Shekhar ji and his team for enlightening us.
Great initiative... And it's a single time investment... Because once people get used to use washroom.... They will build their next toilet.....
Great initiatives recognized world wide other than by Raga and indi team
That's a commendable job by the government :D ...... Shekhar Gupta sir could you please do a episode on India performance in Paris Paralympics
We still have very very far to go for Swach Bharat to be a success. Swach Bharat should not end at merely eliminating open defecation. Civic sense and public cleanliness is something that needs to be engrained in the minds of one and all. This is something that needs to be worked upon on a more social and cultural level, rather than economical.
Good News is The News!😊
"Swachch Bharat Abhiyan' is one of the much needed initiative!
In my city it made an impact.
Ultimately it is in the hands of people to make it successful.
Even Shekhar Gupta runs out of points to criticize Modi-ji's Administration. Now even he's compelled to praise his initiatives.
Good research and good topic by The Print.
Good to see a rare Cut the Clutter, that is positive and appreciative of the efforts of the govt and various agencies. The Print needs to bring out more such positive initiatives to light and not be be like other rubbish content creators.
But let’s vote for khata khat freebies and go back to stone age
Best journalism you ever did, Shekharji !
Environmental Beautification coupled with proper hygiene sanitation and disinfection...is the way. Promotes local tourism and mental wellbeing. Swatcchata is a multifactorial benefit
Nice to hear appreciation from Shekar Ji for a Modi Government scheme
Wonderful to know these changes about India!
Well done BJP and Modi for saving millions of children ❤
surprise to see Shekhar jee talking good about Modi government
Before 2014 dalit community was used to fight for water near my home but after Narendra Modi ji became the prime minister tap water come into the dalits home itself through jal Jeevan mission
Modi for a reason❤❤
The BJP does hindutv politics but they never ever discriminated other community at all
Hindutva by default means ending of caste discrimination. Please understand and learn what original hindutva actually meant.
This is actually wonderful news, thanks for covering this SG and Print! Incredible, such a simple solution for larger issues.
The nation required some pepping up wit some success stories. You have done good job. Good selection of topic and very good analysis. Thanks
Focussing on health, education, nutrition and environment can change India and make us into a develop economy
BJP and Brahmavadi are against those.Health and Nutrition means beef and meat. Education - means scientific temper. Environment - against cow shelters.
Very happy to learn all this. Congratulations for taking up this topic.
Definitely a HUGE and successful endeavor by the Modi administration! visible difference! congratulations on a successful program!
I am in Canada. There are no public toilets in Canada. Kudos to Indian government on this front. When they good work, we should appreciate. When they do hindu muslim, we should criticise as much as possible.
I'm with you on this point. But a good time to reflect on who starts it first. Is it not the Congress that sets the Muslims against Indians by open appeasement politics. Makes even a secular guy like me with libertarian leanings against Congress -I /Mamata Banerjee types of politics. They empower a minority to hold Democracy to hostage by fear mongering. That's the playbook they have practiced for 7 decades.
Hindus muslims is not new India created due to Hindu Muslim politics, All our history surrounding countries also affect politics

We are fortunate to see this living legend ruling our Nation in our lifetime.

Amidst the clamour for lateral entrants and polivy around them, its important to remember that Param Iyer was a lateral entrant who joined from World Bank and ensured lives of millions of Indians improve.
We should be hiring anyone and everyone who can help drastically improve the lives of Indians irrespective of their caste background.
No need sir , our country does not appreciate talent
BJP should make it's achievements public to the grassroots through advertisement. Instead of G20 and all they should show these things to common man.
Giving importance to toilet was a good step , but in North Karnataka open defecation is rampant but the panchayat members of INC,BJP,JDS backed candidates looting money from the central government by colliding with the corrupt babus , south Karnataka swatch Bharat is effectively implemented but it failed miserably in most districts of north Karnataka.
Should ask Kharge and jarakiholi mafia families about this😅
North Karnataka belongs to only 5 families, north Karnataka people treats every politicians , PA , panchayat members as gods , no one protests against them in north Karnataka,but is completely different in coastal Karnataka and south Karnataka
That's where the communists rule the roost
Bravo, India !
Bravo, PM Modi !
Bravo, BJP !
This is good data and nice to hear. Yes, it does make you smile. Thank you for the video.
undoubtedly it is wonderful programme
Simple ways to boost Human Development and decrease poverty = clean water, sanitation, affordable food, clean electricity, cooking gas, easy access to health services, simple good education. It's bad that it took 70 years for GOI to provide these basic necessities. The SBM will prove revolutionary as we go ahead.
Thank god for Shekhar Gupta.
Wonderful topic... positive news analysis.
Very nice data and research. Important issue and good initiative
Unfortunately, outcome of this Toilet building scheme has not been publicised and so general people will fall for the various khata khat freebie schemes proposed by Congress.
But for some people " SAMVIDHAAN KHATRE MEIN HAI"!
Shelhar Ji. Thanks for bringing out this video and bringing out this valuable nugget of information from the vast clutter available now.
But, I would like to point out that IMR statistics are "per thousand" and not "per cent" as you keep saying.
Good news good story and good initiative with Good results.

@@vinsin328 What is brahmavadi idiot?
Massive achievement for India. I remember how uncomfortable it used to be to reach our village in the evening or at night. Roads used to be crowded with women, and open defecation was not only a health issue but also a matter of social disempowerment. In the long run, an ordinary person will always choose freedom over a lot of money without social freedom. I believe SBM has given social freedom to our people, especially women. The current government may have differences of opinion with some, but the uniformity of plans and schemes is completely irrespective of a person's background. One can call for a caste census to show temporary adventurism, but what after that? Do they have a plan to accommodate those left out in Socio-economic empowerment? It's a big no (based on historical data of 60 years). In the end, political or economic empowerment alone, or even both, are meaningless without social empowerment, and schemes like SBM are achieving that.
This is precisely what touched a cord in Modis heart and he resolved to.end this misery for.the women of rural India
Sir the good thing about you I feel is that you teach us and not speak as a journalist and maintains a good balance with the news. The problem with some other journalists on TH-cam is that they looks radical towards the govt all the time which if anybody listens everyday will go in depression😂😂. Love u sir❤❤
A very exhilarating episode 👏👏
Thanks to the people of Bangladesh who raised the issue .
This is what keeps Shekhar so credible- his content is not driven by what his ideology- it’s driven by data and facts and hence hated and loved by both sides. Huge kudos to Shekhar and his team to stay committed to facts. And I will say the same thing when it trashes BJP!
A great breakdown of the report but I think the video description is misleading. Scientific reports is a subsidiary journal of Nature publications and its impact factor is much lower compared to an article published in the actual Nature journal. Not discrediting the study and analysis in any means but it is ‘a study published in Scientific reports’. Also, really appreciate you showing and discussing the graphics and their interpretations! Something which is the need of the day (opinion of a PhD in medical sciences).
Nice to see you back to the centre shekhar.... felt you were leaning left off late
I am sure Building these toilets would have improved the life expectancy of the citizen of India. Only some one has to research and write the paper.
Good speech ❤
As a country we need to get off the melodrama of issues that dont matter and focus and stand behind leaders who do the non glamorous ground work....
This is one of the feathers on the cap of Modhi govt,among many others. , ensuring drinking water in all house holds, free distribution of cooking gas for all, irrespective of caste, religion, creed, language ,so EFFICIENTLY in short period of time -- considering the mammothness ofthe peblem. -- and none complained about the implementation,is a SUPERHUMAN ACHIEVEMENT.
Guptaji, you are staunch congress supporter, Rahul promoter. ,can you sight a SINGLE ,achievement by any of the several Congress govts in the history of Free India ?
Modhiji is definitely a super man, he does astonishing things so smartly, with the same beaurocracy as the ones before.
Iam neither BJP or Sanghi, but a very old citizen who is watching things since the sixties.
Good intitive of Modi Gov....
Nicely done SG. A couple of comments. IMO, the job of the media is also to hold government accountable by reporting good, bad and inactions. I think, a bit more context on why Modiji launched the Swattch Bharat (e.g. women safety, convenience, etc.) and adding a bit more detail on what the results have been would have been helpful too. Overall this is A-.
One of your feel good stories. Please bring out more of these. A coverage of similar schemes like Ujjwala, Jandhan, etc, with empirical data, would be enlightening.
48 out of 1000 is not 50% ….its close to 5%
Awesome job and awesome results ❤
Great analysis. Now be ready to get negative comments
Modi will be celebrated and respected for all theses kind of achievements after his tenure
