Most of us take our toilets for granted. But for many, it’s still a luxury. Would you be interested if I told you that toilets can save billions of rupees and save thousands of lives?
On average, inadequate sanitation costs countries almost 1.5% of their GDP. That’s around 54 billion dollars a year for India.
The indirect impact caused due to improper sanitation are (but not limited to)
- Premature deaths (due to diarrhea)
- Health care costs
- Stunted Growth
- Lower school and work productivity
This amazing animated film by young artists Rajesh Thakare and Troy Vasanth from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad captures beautifully the eccentricity of Mumbai and the protagonist’s misadventure.
