Jaipur: Inspired by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, a tribal has sold off his goat and mortgaged the ornaments of his wife to complete the construction of a toilet in his house in Rajasthan’s Dungarpur district.
A daily wager, Kanti Lal Rot, who lives with his mother, wife, children and widow of his brother, in a thatched house along Dungarpur-Ratanpur road was inspired by prime minister’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
Activists told him that he will get Rs 4,000 each from the Centre, the state government and from the municipality if he constructs a toilet in his house following which he started to construct the toilet.
“When he had no money to pay labourers, he sold one of his five goats for Rs 5000 and mortgaged silver ornaments of his wife and made the payment,” K.K. Gupta, Vice Chairman of Muncipality Dungarpur, said.
