Are Mobile Toilets Helping In Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Of NDA?

With the coming to power of the BJP led NDA alliance, we have seen a number of changes taking place in the way the country is run. Governance has taken a whole new route with the new Prime Minister who not only has many new policies in mind but also, he wants to revive beneficial policies introduced by earlier governments to ensure that his cabinet does the best they can to support the populace of the nation.

These toilets could be managed more efficiently; their upkeep was not as big a problem as earlier. Further, the toilets ensured that the surroundings were not damaged by eliminating the issue of bio waste.

How do these Portable Restrooms help?

When you speak about mobile toilets or portable toilets in India, there are many advantages of installing such systems and ensuring that the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan is a grand success because of it.

It is the need of the hour to understand how this sanitation initiative can help India counter ill health and malnutrition including infant deaths. These toilets are:
