Over 73 per cent of rural Tamil Nadu defecates in the open. The construction cost is a major deterrent for poor people. “It equals our monthly income,” says Trirathimala of Chettikulam village in Tiruchirappalli district. Realising this critical gap in providing sanitation, Gramalaya started a microfinance programme, the Gramalaya Urban and Rural Development Initia-tive Network (GUARDIAN) in 2007 and targeted women’s self-help groups (SHGs) . “Women play a very crucial role in decision-making in any household. The mobilisation of SHGs helped reduce physical and emotional barriers to avail commercial credit and increase investment in sanitation facilities,” says M Elangovan, executive director of Gramalaya.

Chief Justice of India crying, farmers committing suicide, half of India reeling under severe drought, unprecedented rural-urban migration, job growth lowest in six years, 8.32 crore under-age married girls, poor women being trapped and forced into slavery, Kashmir witnessing unrest, tribal women being raped and molested in Chhattisgarh and the list goes on.

Saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai, spending crores to install flags in universities, debating useless nationalism and standing up to national anthem are the most nonsensical things you can do today. Go ahead !

Anyone knows the reason why?
