Abstract: The Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Mission (SBM) launched in October 2014 is the world’s largest sanitation campaign. Our aim was to estimate and compare major economic costs and benefits associated with sanitation improvement achieved during three years of SBM from households’ financial and economic perspectives and a broader societal perspective.
