1. Introduction
This Detailed Project Report proposes the planning, construction, and maintenance of a sustainable and
inclusive network of public toilets across Tezpur town, Assam. The aim is to address critical gaps in
urban sanitation infrastructure while enhancing accessibility, hygiene, and dignity for all citizens.

The project follows a data-driven approach. Through heatmap analysis and Toilet Need Score (TNS),
we identified key high-footfall locations lacking adequate sanitation coverage. Spatial optimization
was used to ensure maximum coverage within a 200-meter walking distance, refining benchmarks set
by national guidelines such as the ODF protocol.

Drawing inspiration from both Indian and international best practices, including publications by the
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Restroom Association (Singapore), and USAID's Urban
WASH Alliance, the design integrates user-friendly features, smart monitoring systems, and a
sustainable operation and maintenance framework. A regression model confirmed that the visibility
and cleanliness of existing toilets significantly impact usage rates, guiding future placement and
service frequency.

The project’s techno-economic model estimates a capital expenditure of ₹29,78,109 and an annual
operating cost of ₹11,66,400 lakh. Revenue generation strategies include advertising rights, selective
pay-and-use systems, and partnerships through CSR and PPP frameworks.

This DPR will serve as the foundation for municipal approval, funding mobilization, and eventual
implementation. A budget for scaling the network town-wide is under preparation and will be
submitted in the next phase. Conference papers and a journal article are also being developed to
contribute to the broader discourse on urban sanitation.

1.1 Executive Summary

This Detailed Project Report (DPR) presents a comprehensive plan for the development of a
sustainable public sanitation network in Tezpur town. The primary goal of this project is to
address the existing gaps in public sanitation infrastructure and ensure universal access to
clean, safe, and inclusive toilet facilities. The project integrates modern technology with
community-centric planning to create a network of easily accessible, gender-inclusive, and
environmentally sustainable public toilets.

The proposed sanitation infrastructure aligns with national initiatives such as the Swachh
Bharat Mission (SBM-U 2.0) and supports Tezpur’s urban development goals. This DPR
covers the technical, economic, and financial feasibility of constructing a town-wide network
of public toilets, integrating a web-based feedback and monitoring system, and establishing a
revenue generation model through advertisement and other sources.

The project emphasizes local stakeholder engagement, transparent maintenance protocols, and
smart monitoring to ensure operational efficiency. This initiative will improve public health,
promote hygiene, enhance the urban environment, and support tourism and economic activity
within the town.

1.2 Project Background and Justification

Tezpur, a historically significant and rapidly urbanizing town in Assam, is experiencing

increasing population pressure and urban expansion. With the influx of tourists, traders, and
daily commuters, the demand for well-maintained public sanitation facilities has risen
substantially. Despite several attempts by the local municipality, a large portion of the
population continues to face challenges in accessing hygienic and safe toilets in public spaces.

Current public toilets are insufficient in number, poorly maintained, and not user-friendly,
leading to open defecation, particularly in crowded markets and transit points. This project
stems from the need to bridge the gap between demand and availability of functional
sanitation services. The project also considers guidelines from national and international
sources such as the CPHEEO Manual, ODF protocols, and documents by Singapore’s
Restroom Association and USAID’s Urban WASH Alliance.

The need for innovative toilet design, inclusive features, and regular monitoring forms the
foundation of this project. The inclusion of smart feedback mechanisms and real-time
monitoring ensures that the cleanliness and usability of facilities are maintained without over-
reliance on municipal manpower.

2
1.3 Objectives of the Project

 Establish a network of hygienic, accessible public toilets across high-traffic zones in

Tezpur.
 Develop inclusive toilet units that cater to women, children, elderly, and persons with
disabilities.
 Ensure continuous and efficient operation and maintenance through community
engagement and third-party partnerships.
 Implement a digital platform for user feedback, performance evaluation, and
maintenance monitoring.
 Generate alternative sources of revenue through advertisement panels and other.
 Promote behavioural change and hygiene awareness through IEC (Information,
Education, Communication) campaigns.

1.4 Project Description

The project involves the planning, design, construction, and operation of multiple public toilet
units located in commercial, institutional, and transit zones throughout Tezpur. These
locations have been identified through a combination of field surveys, heatmap analysis, and
regression-based demand estimation.

Each toilet unit will comprise:

 Separate blocks for men, women, and accessible units for persons with disabilities
 Urinals and wash basins
 QR-code feedback systems and display boards

Special care will be taken to ensure that the toilets are safe, well-lit, and maintained according
to national cleanliness benchmarks. A web-based review platform will allow users to rate
cleanliness, report problems, and track service responses in real-time.

2. Need for the Project

2.1 Existing Scenario

The rapid urban expansion and population growth in Tezpur has not been matched by
adequate public sanitation infrastructure. A recent Toilet Need Survey (TNS) conducted across
the municipality revealed a shortage of well-maintained and accessible public toilets,
especially in commercial zones, institutional areas, and transit hubs. Many existing facilities
are non-functional, unhygienic, or poorly maintained, leading to open defecation and urination
in public spaces—affecting health, dignity, tourism, and overall liveability.

The heatmaps generated as part of the spatial analysis identify clusters of high footfall and
commercial density that currently lack access to public toilets within a 200-meter radius,
violating the revised proximity guideline inspired by the ODF protocol (originally 1 km, now
refined for practical utility). This reinforces the immediate requirement for a strategic, need-
based intervention to bridge the gap in public toilet infrastructure.

2.2 Problem Statement

Despite national and state-level efforts under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban), gaps in
sanitation coverage remain a persistent problem. The lack of a user-friendly, accessible, and
sustainable public toilet network has social, environmental, and economic ramifications,
including:

 Increased health risks from open defecation and urination.

 Deterioration in urban aesthetics and liveability.
 Discomfort and safety concerns for women, elderly, and differently-abled individuals.
 Negative impact on tourism and local commerce.

Thus, a holistic, inclusive, and technology-enabled public sanitation model is urgently

required for Tezpur.

5
3. Objective of the Project
The primary objective of this project is to design, develop, and deploy an inclusive network of
public toilets across the urban area of Tezpur. This will be achieved through:

1. Need-based infrastructure development using spatial mapping, demographic data,

and public demand analysis.
2. Affordable construction of gender-segregated, disabled-friendly toilets using durable
materials and design standards adopted from existing government schemes.
3. Adoption of a techno-economic model that ensures operational sustainability,
incorporating private sector participation, advertising-based revenue generation, and
community engagement.
4. Digital feedback and review platform that allows users to rate and comment on
facilities, improving transparency and accountability.
5. Integration with smart urban planning goals, aligning with ODF+ and ODF++
targets and contributing toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean
Water and Sanitation).

6
4. Project Strategy

4.1 Implementation Strategy

To ensure the effective implementation of the public sanitation network in Tezpur, a phased
strategy will be followed. The key components include:

1. Site Identification and Selection:

Based on the Toilet Need Survey (TNS) and spatial heatmap analysis, priority locations have
been shortlisted—focusing on high-footfall areas like markets, transit nodes, educational hubs,
and tourist sites. Proximity benchmarks (within 200 meters of need clusters) were used to
validate each proposed site.

2. Standardized Design and Construction:

A government-approved design format was adopted to ensure functionality, hygiene, and cost-
efficiency. The design includes separate units for men and women and a dedicated
handwashing area. Materials and specifications are aligned with the Public Works Department
(PWD) Schedule of Rates (SOR), 2013–14, ensuring cost realism.

3. Operations and Maintenance (O&M):

The O&M model draws from recommendations in publications like A Guide to Better Public
Toilet Design and Maintenance (Singapore Restroom Association, 2022) and Innovative
Toilet Concepts for Urban India (USAID, 2018). A hybrid strategy involving community
monitoring, municipal oversight, and private partnerships (PPP) will be adopted. Scheduled
cleaning, remote monitoring, and a digital feedback system will ensure long-term
functionality.

4. Community Engagement and Awareness:

Awareness campaigns will be conducted to encourage responsible usage. Community
members, especially local NGOs will be involved in maintenance oversight and hygiene
promotion drives.

5. Revenue Generation and Financial Sustainability:

To offset operational costs, wall branding and banner advertisement spaces on toilet blocks
will be offered to local businesses and NGOs. A modest user fee model (optional) will be
considered only after achieving broad acceptance and ensuring universal access.

7
5. Financial and Funding Plan

5.1 Sources of Funding

To ensure financial viability, the project seeks to tap into a combination of central, state, and
local government schemes, along with potential contributions from public-private partnerships
(PPPs). The primary funding sources under consideration are:

 Swachh Bharat Mission – Urban (SBM-U) Phase II: For construction and initial
O&M support.
 15th Finance Commission Grants: For Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), particularly
earmarked for sanitation and waste management.
 AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation): For water
and sanitation infrastructure in mission cities.
 State Government Urban Infrastructure Funds.
 Private Advertisers: For supporting advertising-linked revenue.

5.2 Techno-Economic Model

A techno-economic model is being developed based on:

11
9. Cost Estimates and Financial Plan

9.1 Summary of Capital Costs

The cost estimation was conducted based on the PWD Schedule of Rates (SOR), 2013–14.
The total cost for the construction of one standard toilet unit (including handwashing area,
septic tank and water storage) is approximately ₹3.3 lakhs.

The estimated capital expenditure is based on a standard single-unit public toilet block with
provisions for accessibility, water connection, drainage, electrical fittings, and signage. Based
on the finalized design and material specifications, the per-unit construction cost is
approximately ₹3.3 lakhs. The breakdown is as follows:

Component Unit Cost (₹)

Civil Works (foundation, superstructure) 2,14,152
Plumbing and Sanitary Fittings 39,150
Electrical Works and Lighting 16,627
Water Supply and Drainage Connection 8,669
Accessibility Features (ramps, signage) 1,825
Total 2,80,425
Add 18% GST 50,476
Total Cost per Unit 3,30,901

For a pilot phase of 3 units, the total capital cost amounts to ₹9,92,703.

The construction estimate is based on robust material choices suitable for the climatic and
geological conditions of Tezpur. A more detailed estimate is available in the annexed Excel
estimation sheet.

As the next step, this unit cost will be extrapolated town-wide based on the total number of
required locations derived from spatial analysis. This will later feed into a broader municipal-
level budgetary framework.

9.2 Operational Costs

Monthly operational expenditure per unit is estimated to be ₹10,800 as outlined in Section 7.3.
Therefore, the annual O&M cost for the pilot phase comprising of 3 units is:

₹10,800 × 12 months × 3 units = ₹3,88,800.

9.3 Funding Sources

12
Multiple funding channels are proposed:

 Municipal Budget Allocations under Swachh Bharat Mission Urban 2.0.

 District Development Fund allocation for urban infrastructure improvement.
 Revenue from Advertisements placed on facility walls and digital displays.
 State Urban Development Grants available through Assam Urban Infrastructure
Investment Program (AUIIP).

13
10. Revenue Generation and Financial Sustainability

10.1 Revenue Streams

To reduce dependence on public funds, a hybrid revenue model is planned:

 Advertisement Spaces: Side walls and boundary fencing of toilet blocks will be
rented to local businesses and political campaigns for monthly rates ranging between
₹1,000–₹3,000 per unit.
 Digital Display Ads: If supported by infrastructure, small LED panels may display
rotating local ads.
 User-Pay Model (Optional): In high-footfall areas like bus stands or markets, a
nominal user fee of ₹5 for urination and ₹10 for defecation may be introduced, subject
to community acceptance.

14
