In environmental issues concerned in the Indian Railways system once, the Railway platforms were obnoxious and odours besides when we travelling with drinking and eating in inside the wagons and platforms. However, the situation has been ratified in recent past under the Swatch Bharath programme. In Indian railway, the bio-toilet has been introduced to put check for visual and olfactory pollution by open defecation and draining of the urine and stools in tracks and platforms. The moral suasion is one among them by which the railway brings the bio-toilet measures to eradicate open defecation problem. This study attempts to seek and put checks for the open defecation issues by erecting bio-toilet system in rail boogies involving the cost and benefits. It is a descriptive study. The study period is 2012-2018. An inductive description is given for appraisal of the bio-toilets in Indian railways and the collection of primary and secondary data are used. There are four fiscal methods have been following to control the damage of the environment such as: moral suasion, regulations and controlling measure of the fiscal measures such as subsidy effluent/pollution tax, pollution permits, and allocation of property rights. The moral suasion is a volunteerism and more powerful weapon when we execute anything in public good concerned including environmental issues. The green toilets aim at zero-defecation on the ground

Open defecation, bio/green-toilets, moral suasion, zero defecations in railways and tracks, Swatch Bharath, etc.
