In order to change the behaviour of the children from very early stage in life, it is essential that Anganwadis are used as a platform of behaviour change of the children as well as the mothers attending the Anganwadis. For this purpose each anganwadi should be provided with a baby friendly toilet. One toilet of unit cost upto Rs 5,000 can be constructed for each Anganwadi or Balwadi in the rural areas where incentive to be given by Government of India will be restricted to Rs 3,000. Additional expenses can be met by the State Government or the Panchayats. Since there are a large number of Anganwadis operating from private houses, following strategy may be adopted;

In all the Anganwadis, which are in Government buildings, baby friendly toilets should be constructed from out of the TSC funds to the extent laid down.
Those Anganwadis, which are in private buildings, the owner must be asked to construct the toilet as per design, and, he/she may be allowed to charge enhanced rent for the building to recover the cost of construction. Alternatively, the toilet may be constructed under the TSC and, suitable deductions made from the monthly rental paid to the owner to recover the cost over a period of time.
For new buildings, which are going to be hired for Anganwadis, buildings having baby friendly toilet facility only should be hired.
More than 10% of the total Government outlay can be utilized for School Sanitation and Anganwadi toilets.
