The cost of construction of sanitation facilities in AWCs were fixed at Rs 12000/- way back in 2017-18. This norm were not found sufficient for construction of a standard child friendly toilet in AWCs due to cost increase in last few years. The cost of the same has now been revised to Rs. 36000/-. The states have been seeking funds for toilet construction under the revised norms. A sum of Rs.164.57 crore has been released, to States/UTs for construction of sanitation facilities in AWCs.
