Soil‐transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a significant global cause of morbidity, with a large proportion of the burden of STH infections reported in India. In addition to the direct health impacts of these infections, including anemia and nutritional deficiencies in children, these infections also significantly affect lifelong growth due to setbacks in early childhood cognitive development and future income-earning potential. Outline India supported WHO in studying the impact of the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) on the occurrence of STH cases in India. The outcome of the study informed policies and programs for eliminating STH through strategic interventions such as SBM.
