Not a single toilet in Palai village

 Prakash Foundation demands rural toilets

Budaun, June 22, 2012: Despite the various debates and meetings held over the problem of proper sanitary and drainage system in villages, there is no sign of progress. The recent being the meeting headed by District Panchayati Raj Officer (DPRO) Mr R S Chaudhary with Gram Secretary and Gram Officers of Budaun district, in which he ensured that atleast 40 toilets are mandatory for every village.

Mr Narvijay Yadav, founder president, Prakash Foundation, who hails from Palai Village remarked “The recent surveys indicate that Badaun ranks 25^th in the whole state in terms of availability of clean and hygienic toilets. Which makes it quite shocking to know that Palai village of Bisauli Tehsil of the very same district does not posses even a single toilet of the mentioned category”.

He also added “It seems that the whole concentration and liberty of the state government is at the disposal of Noida and Ghaziabad only. But it should be understood that whole of the state cannot reside in these two regions”.

Not only the sanitation problem but even the constant flood every year is the other major problem faced by Palai costing heavy loss of harvest. The root cause being Singhtra river where waters gets accumulated because of blockage of canal meant to drain out the water. Even with sincere efforts of Prakash Foundation and state government the project which started with a full throttle is now at halt. The village also lacks basic amenities like electricity and sanitary drains.
