Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India to check on
toilet use in 'real time'
A big problem in
the second and soon-to-be the most populous country. Nearly a half of people there
are estimated to defecate in the open, some of them have no choice but others
choose to do so instead of using toilet. It became one of the most prioritized
causes by the newly elected leader of India to install a toilet in every household
within five years. So far, they distributed over a half million toilets and
have started monitoring if they are actually used. It seems like a very long
way to go for a country whose population and the number of households are both
growing rapidly. But if cleanliness and sanitation aren’t improved, the growth
of population and economy may not be sustained because it’s one of the most
important health issues.
Enjoy reading and
learning this India’s challenge to change everyone’s daily practice.
