FINISH- ECOSAN
BISWA has taken up the initiative to build eco-friendly toilets for the first time in Orissa. A first-time Pilot Demonstration of the ECOSAN model is underway in Churali village of Puri district of Orissa. The ECOSAN toilet is a very advanced and modern way of constructing a toilet which is truly sustainable. The success of this intervention will be a demonstration at the policy level to include ECOSAN as a solution for coastal areas rather than creating unsustainable structures under government schemes and to inculcate a permanent behavioral change among the masses.
