Modern technology and inventions have changed our life for the better. New devices and amenities are introduced year after year making our life more comfortable. Everything has become quick, easy and smart. Our homes have transformed from being normal to modern, stylish and compact. Even bathrooms which were once ignored have now got prominence. Bathtubs, large mirrors, marble tiles, hand showers and air fresheners have redefined the way we use our bathrooms.
But for quite a
large number of people living particularly in rural India nothing has changed
for the better. All the modern amenities are a distant dream for them as even
their basic necessities are not met. We build our homes with interior decorated
bath attached rooms but for them the basic necessity of toilet is neither
available at home nor in the village they live in. Every day they have to go
out in the open to defecate themselves. It is difficult to imagine how kids,
men, women and elderly walk long distances every time day and night putting
themselves to the risk of diseases and accidents. How shameful it would be for
them especially women who have to defecate in the open setting aside their
dignity. Young kids are more prone to infections and many fall ill due to lack
of basic sanitation. These poor people have no choice as no public toilets are
available in their village.
It is shocking that in a
civilized country like India even basic sanitation facilities have not reached
our villages. What more this puts people to the risk of infections and diseases
which occur due to unhygienic living conditions and lack of cleanliness. It is
therefore necessary that adequate steps are taken by the government and people
at large to curb this problem. Even though mobile toilets have been constructed
in few areas it is very little and there are plenty of villages in India where
open defecation is common.
Domex India’s
leading sanitation brand has started domex toilet academy (DTA) programme which
aims to make villages open defecation free. The programme which was launched in
Nov 2013 has plans to build 24,000 toilets by 2015 in rural areas where open
defecation is common. Through this programme they are trying to make toilets
affordable and accessible to all by providing long term sanitation benefits.
Their efforts have already ;brought a change in several villages of Maharashtra
and Orissa. You too can show your support by taking part in the ‘you click, domex
contributes’ campaign. Just visit domex’s home page and click
on the contribute tab. For every click domex contributes Rs.5 to the
programme. DTA’s initiatives are indeed laudable and would go a long
way in making toilets accessible to all and lighting up their lives with a new
hope for a better life.Toilet for babli by Domex is the excellent scheme which
will facilitate young girls as well.
No doubt domex programme
is a big support to the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s Swach Bharat scheme
which aims to eliminate open defecation within five years.
Nice review,all the best for domex
