Google Toilet Locator for India

Minister of Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu launched a Google Map toilet locator to help people find public restrooms.

According to the UN, around 595 million people, or nearly half of India's population, defecate in the open. This is a result of the lack of sanitation infrastructure in the country.

Swachha Bharat is a dream to Indian people to get success and the Govt is trying to help the population as much as possible.

Taking a step towards making Swachh India mission successful, Minister of Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu launched a Google Map toilet locator to help people find public restrooms. If no one knows the location of the toilets they are not really useful. It is worth mentioning that The Indian government claims to have built nearly 11 million toilets across the country between 2015 and 2016.
