• Bharti has built 4,000 toilets, although not all of them are under the
govern ment's sanitation programme meant for schools Auto major
Toyota has scaled up its toilet building plan and has constructed
over 268 of the 500 toilets using modern water conser vation
technology, while Hindustan Zinc is nearing the 450 mark. CII said,
out of 4,000 toilets to be built by it and its members, 3,900 have
been completed. Companies say the cost of construction is not
high. For instance, Mahindra is building a toilet block with five units
at Rs 2.3 lakh each, while Toyota -which has the toilets designed
specially by its team -is spending around Rs 2 lakh per toilet.From e-
toilets to chemical toilets and double pit ones companies are trying
everything.
• On the face of it, it seems Indian companies have accepted the
challenge in right earnest and have fanned out across the country
building toilets in remote areas and trying to fulfill the promise to
PM Narendra Modi.

• For several companies, the Swachh Bharat initiative has emerged as
a key component of its clean manufacturing process. Companies
are using latest technology to suit different areas and the focus is
on low maintenance and water use. “Sanitation projects is not just
a CSR activity but a small contribution by Toyota to educate today's
young students about the basic hygiene and the importance of
clean environment for the future growth of India,“ said Toyota
Kirloskar MD Naomi Ishii.
• India Inc has a few complaints too. For one, information flow is
poor and the scheme got off to a slow start, it says. The biggest
challenge was selecting the location as companies wanted to build
the units near their area of operation. The other worry was related
to maintenance as companies did not want the money to sink.
