India to become 'open defecation free' by 2012

Come 2012 and it will be rare to see people defecating in the open in India. So claims Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, who went on to say that the country was set to achieve 'open-defecation free' status under the government's Total Sanitation Programme (TSC).

'Open defecation is slowly losing popularity in rural India and the government is doing all efforts to end this for all by 2012'.
