Swachh Bharat mission: Swapna Srushti Horizon unveils  Selan Eco Fast Toilet
AHMEDABAD: Swapna Srushti Horizon Pvt. Ltd., the Bhavnagar-based flagship company of real estate major Sheth Construction Group, on Thursday rolled out Selan Eco Fast Toilet. The modular toilets designed by a team of technocrats, the modular product is based on the technology of pre-stressed concrete, used in mass quantity production and ensures durability.

The move is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for Make In India and Swachh Bharat mission that has taken up the challenge to strive for a cleaner India and sanitation for all by the year 2019.

The uniqueness of the material lies in the fact that it helps reduce 60 % of total man hours needed when compared to conventional methods. The product design is ideal for usage in both urban and rural areas. Hence, a single toilet unit takes about 100 minutes to install and rules out investment in skilled manpower and maintenance costs. The modular design and ready-to-install feature in them also minimizes energy consumption as the gross amount of material consumption is less, the company said adding near four toilets could be installed by two people in a day.

When your MP is also the PM, it's inevitable that the buzz factor hits a crescendo, along with expectations. "Earlier, dharnas and even minor scuffles between smaller political outfits were a regular feature, but now almost all political activity is limited to the PM and his talks," says Kaushal Kishor Mishra, professor of political science at Banaras Hindu University (BHU).

He's hopeful, and points to Assi Ghat as the basis for that hope. "A big part of the (Assi) Ghat that was till now buried under silt has re-emerged. There's hope that there will be changes in Varanasi — something that most of us had never imagined till the PM entered Varanasi," adds the professor.
