I hope that all these toilets being built are actually being used, serviced and maintained by the people of the community. I have seen TV reports where these toilets were being built to achieve targets and end up being either filthy because no one maintained them, or used as storage(?). This, along with a massive awareness drive(the govt has some ads running on tv) to push people towards using these toilets. Many challenges ahead, and I can only hope for the best for the motherland.

Unfortunately your fears are not unfounded. I have been to a village which is supposed to be model village for the constituency (adopted by the ruling party legislator). Open defecation has not reduced significantly. The toilets built are in a deplorable state and if people are not using them it is understandable. I think the public is also to be blamed for this but if the legislator can't introduce/inculcate mindset change in just one model village in their constituency it is not encouraging.
