Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) or Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) is a

Community-led total sanitation program initiated by Government of India in

1999. It is a demand-driven and people-centered sanitation program. It

evolved from the limited achievements of the first structured programme for

rural sanitation in India, the Central Rural Sanitation Programme, which had

minimal community participation. The main goal of Total Sanitation Campaign

is to eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2017. Community-led total

sanitation is not focused on building infrastructure, but on preventing open

defecation through peer pressure and shame. In Maharashtra where the

program started more than 2000 Gram Panchayats have achieved "opendefecation free" status. Villages that achieve this status receive monetary

rewards and high publicity under a program called Nirmal Gram Puraskar
