Toilets can change lives, but only if they work. The prime minister’s initiative to “Clean India” by 2019 are laudable. Armed with learnings from our flagship global programme “Toilets Change Lives”, since 2016, we have committed ourselves to renovating broken and dysfunctional toilets in over a 100 schools across five states -- Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal and Maharashtra. This year, we have renewed our commitment to maintaining every single one of those toilets in addition to undertaking repairs and renovation of toilets in more schools. In India, even now, keeping toilets clean is dependent on human intervention.
