One, I’d written a blogpost on a World Bank report on the progress of rural sanitation in rural India. These were, according to me, the key takeaways from that report:
Four key results emerge from this report:
Enormous expansion in toilet access, with near-universal coverage of rural sanitation infrastructure
Substantial increase in regular toilet use, especially for the poor and socially disadvantaged groups
Wide variation in progress of regular toilet use across and within states
The impressive gains in regular toilet use are slowing or reversing, sustainability is a key challenge

But that report has now been withdrawn.
Two, next year there will be a festival in Pune. A festival of public policy. The theme is trade-offs.
