  • To add vigor to its implementation, the GoI launched award based incentives scheme for fully sanitized and open defecation free Gram Panchayats, Blocks, Districts, and State called "Nirmal Gram Purashkar (NGP)" in October 2003 and gave away the first awards in 2005 as a component of its flagship scheme Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC).
