NBA envisages an integrated approach to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). With NBA, the roles of District level Sanitation coordinators, who were an integral part of TSC, have undergone a major shift. Now known as Swachhata Preraks, they are the catalysts of the programme at the district level, facilitating Gram Panchayats to achieve the Nirmal Gram (100% Open Defecation Free-ODF) status. To achieve the ODF status, Swachhata Preraks will spearhead the activities of NBA by planning, coordinating, monitoring, and executing the annual implementation plan for sanitation in their respective districts
