Rajasthan's pink toilet initiative: Only 1 built, none working in Jaipur; budget of Rs 175 crore wasted on non-functional facilities?
JAIPUR: Despite the Rajasthan govt allocating Rs 175 crore in its 2025 budget for constructing 500 pink toilets statewide to improve women's sanitation, Jaipur has made negligible progress. Of the eight pink toilets sanctioned for the city—four each under Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Greater (JMCG) and Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Heritage (JMC-H) —only one has been built, and it remains non-functional, pending inauguration. The delay highlights a serious lack of urgency and coordination among civic bodies. JMC-H completed the city's first pink toilet, but operationalisation is stalled. Another unit in Jawahar Nagar's Gol Market is only 20% complete, with officials projecting a one-month timeline for completion. JMC-G's progress has been worse. After six months of scouting, no land has been finalised. Proposed sites in Jhotwara Pulia and Vidyadhar Nagar were rejected at the zonal level. Current proposals for toilets near Satkar Shopping Centre (Malviya Nagar) and Nursery Circle (Vaishali Nagar) are stuck awaiting senior-level approval. Ironically, densely populated areas like the Walled City markets till lack basic sanitation. Pink toilets are designed to offer key amenities—sanitary pads, baby feeding zones, diaper changing stations, and sanitary waste incinerators.
