For bringing awareness about cleanliness Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, Founder, Sulabh Movement has left no stone unturned. This was proved today at the Central Park, Connaught Place, New Delhi where convergence of 1000 students from various schools of Delhi who are members of Sulabh School Sanitation Club, along with member students from six countries — Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Afghanistan participated in the event. The crowd gave a big round of applause when Shri Vijay Goyal, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak and Mrs. Amola Pathak joined these school children in this walkathon carrying replicas of toilet pots over their heads and slogans of cleanliness drive in their hands with the message “Toilet for All by 2019”. The unveiling of the replica of India’s largest toilet pot was another attraction of the day. All these events were part of celebrations of International Toilet Festival in view of ‘World Toilet Day’ that falls tomorrow: November 19, 2014.
Around 2000 people including 1000 school children, 200 liberated and rehabilitated manual scavengers from Alwar and Tonk (Rajasthan), 100 widows from Vrindavan and Varanasi and women from Mewat (Haryana) and others from all walks of life actively took part in the event and made a HUMAN CHAIN to create awareness about the importance of toilets in keeping with ‘Swachch Bharat’ campaign of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar, Vice Chairperson, New Delhi Municipal Corporation joined the students in this HUMAN CHAIN.
On this occasion students released 1000 balloons in the air with the message of cleanliness drive.
During the event Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak called upon the participating students and others for a PLEDGE to make India clean.
The largest tri-coloured Flag of India was unfurled with pride in Connaught Place when Dr. Bindeshwer Pathak, icon of Sanitation along with 2000 people including erstwhile untouchables of Alwar and Tonk, Rajasthan and widows of Vrindavan and Varanasi recited “JAN-GAN-MAN’. This was part of the International Toilet Festival being celebrated by Sulabh International Social Service Organisation.
On the occasion Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar, Vice Chairperson, New Delhi Municipal Corporation, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak and Sulabh Sanitation Club’s member students from six countries — Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Afghanistan shared the dais and lighted the Lamp.
Hon’ble Shri Karan Singh Tanwar delivered a motivational speech on Clean India Drive (Swachch Bharat Campaign).
Sulabh International Founder, Dr. Pathak addressed the audience and said that our aim is to create awareness about toilets and sanitation. Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of having a toilet built in every household by 2019, Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak said that the country will finally realise Mahatma Gandhi's dream of total sanitation.
"Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister to have emphasised this much on the issue of sanitation. Even the developed countries have not emphasised as much," he said. Lamenting the fact that previous governments did not adopt the "Sulabh model" he expressed hope that the Modi Government will replicate it, which he claimed will help the government in achieving its objective of total sanitation.
"Our model has helped in putting an end to large scale open defecation in many areas apart from liberating many manual scavengers. The Alwar and Tonk model should be replicated all over the country," he said.
A skit “Ghar Ghar Alakh Jagane Wale” was played to show the importance of Sulabh Shauchalayas in our lives.

Energy AWARE Clock is designed to make energy awareness a part of everyday life. The clock visualises the daily energy rhythms of the household on a 24 hour clock and is intended to function like an ordinary kitchen clock, both in form, place and use. The clock shows electrical utilisation of the household in real time. Yesterday’s graphs fade away slowly and today’s consumption is drawn on top of previous days, making it possible to compare your current electricity consumption with yesterdays and the day before yesterday.

Had to happen eventually. As I passed her she brusquely taps my shoulder.
"You just take my picture like that?"
Surprised, I just say "yes."
This in turn surprises her. I should have just left it at that, but instead I feel the compulsion to lamely add "I am an amateur photographer" and she strides off in a huff of righteous indignation.
