In India, according to conservative estimates, about 772 million people do not have a private place to answer the call of nature. Consequently, vacant lands, fields, bushes, roadside and railway tracks are being used for defecation with the serious consequences for the environmental well being.

It has been computed that in China, India and Indonesia, twice as many people are dying from diarrhea than from HIV/AIDS.

In the State of Maharashtra, India, every year 3 million people are affected by diseases caused by defecation in the open. Of these 3,000 people die.

This video shows how this problem was solved using mass communication techniques.

  • They can send rockets into space but cannot provide their own citizens a place to shit!

  • No matter what you do, the India Government and Manmohan Singh himself are all corrupt. The ministers of parts of India don't even have a single qualification to their name. Even if they do, they paid someone to get the certificate.
