The Indian Railways have been widely chastised for dumping human waste on railway tracks, which pollutes the environment and makes human life difficult. Indian Railways are working hard to solve this problem by developing environmentally friendly toilet facilities. The bio toilets were adopted by the Indian Railways to handle this problem in an environmentally friendly manner. However, due to the failure of these bio-digesters for a variety of causes, new problems have arisen, so this paper outlines the issues raised by bio-toilets and how to address them, which satisfies the major objective of Swaccha Bharat AbhiyanKeywords
