The objective of safe sanitation is to eliminate direct/indirect human contact with human feces. The feces of the young children are equally infectious as of an adult. The young children who require constant care, depends on their mother/caregivers for their hygiene. If the mothers of these young children are disposing their feces in unsafe manner, it will create high health and environment negative externalities. An outcome of these unhygienic sanitation practices is diarrhea which is a common infection that can be cured easily. With the increase in health care facilities, India has controlled mortality due to diarrhea among under-5 children. But it is also important to reduce the prevalence of diarrhea as it may cause malnutrition among young children. This paper is focused on finding out linkages of prevalence of diarrhea among children under 5 years of age and the mother’s behavior for disposing the stool of their children.</p>}, number={2s}, journal={Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities}, author={Vishakha Jain, Mridul Dharwal, Prem S.
