Gandhi and Sanitation
Sudarshan Iyengar

Only the other day, one of our best extension workers and teachers expressed his concern over the dubious attitude of village and block level government functionaries who simply denied the receipt of individual toilet building proposals that were prepared and submitted for funding and implementation by the potential beneficiaries. Vidyapith involved itself into active promotion of getting toilets built due to a commitment we made to ourselves. The resolve was made after Shri Narayan Desai’s 108thGandhikatha.1Even with the problem mentioned in the beginning, we have been able to facilitate building of more than 1300 toilets in last two years in villages surrounding Sadra, where Vidyapith has a rural campus- 20 km of the state capital in Gujarat and people are not easily persuaded! The difficulties increase when we face indifferent and corrupt government functionaries. More Indians have mobile phones than a toilet in the house. This reflects people’s awareness, understanding and priority to sanitation. Gandhi had sensed this lacking among the Indian population since his childhood. He had also internalised the need for high standard of sanitation for any civilised and developed human society. He had developed the understanding from his exposure to the Western society.
