The Bride Who Demanded a Toilet and is richer by 5 Lakhs
ANITA Narre left her husband's home in Madhya Pradesh, just two days after her marriage, because there was no toilet in his house. She returned after a week after her husband built a toilet and now the whole village has toilets. Sulabh International paid her Rs. 5 Lakhs for standing up for her dignity.
In some startling statistics, it is revealed that only about 47% households in India have lavatories. 50% of Indians defecate in the open!
Is there any meaning for our budgets, our economic surveys, our fiscal projections, our tax planning, our analyses, our Planning Commission (which will soon declare any one with a rupee is rich), our G3s, our GDP and our great Government - when half the Indians have no facility for a decent defecation? S..T!
