The first few weeks we ideated upon our problem statement and discussed ways to tackle them. After long discussions and much debate, we finally decided to work upon the issue that we think is quite relevant not only in our country but also in a lot of developing and developed countries, the real reason why public toilets are frowned upon and not used, despite new government policies that encourage building and usage of public toilets. For our inspiration and project summary see ‘project abstract’.
During this week, we decided to approach different NGO’s and organizations that are involved in promoting and providing better sanitation. Sulabh International is an India-based NGO that promotes and provides better sanitation by building public pay and use toilets and community toilets to name a few. To understand and evaluate the feasibility of our idea and to understand the ground reality we decided to meet with the XYZ of Sulabh Internation. A detailed transcript of our conversation with him can be found at our ‘human practices’ tab.
