President Ram Baran Yadav declared Bhaktapur as the first Open Defecation
Free (ODF) district in Kathmandu Valley and the 10th in the country during the
public opening of the Fifth South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN-V)
held in Kathmandu from October 21-25, 2013. Bhaktapur district, which includes
16 Village Development Committees (VDCs) and two municipalities, has also
become the first district supported by GSF Programme in Nepal to be declared
as ODF.
Hailing the success as a positive step towards attaining the universal access
to water and sanitation service by 2017, President Yadav said the ODF declaration
of Bhaktapur is an important emblem for the urban areas in Nepal.
