With only one toilet for teachers and students Manav Vikas School, Jamshedpur is facing issues on daily basis. Ironically the school’s name isn’t really doing any ” Manav” “Vikas”
Not any more, the school managed by retired employees planned to build toilets with very unique and unconventional materials, used plastic bottles filled with iron ore, sand, slag ash making it as a brick.
Sanjay Kumar Pandey, Deputy Collector in the chief minister’s camp office, said that this initiative will also help keep the environment clean as only waste materials would be used to build the toilets.
It would also send out a message to the society that unused items can be utilized for constructive purpose, he said. The toilet building, that would need approximately 3,000 bricks, will be collected by the students, making them part of a project.
Depending upon the success of the first toilet, more such toilets would be set up in the future, Mr Pandey said
