We will build six crore toilets: Jaitley
New Delhi: The central government will achieve the target of building six crore toilets across the country under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said while presenting the Union Budget 2015-16 Saturday.
Jaitley said the BJP government was able to “transform Swachh Bharat into a movement to regenerate India”.
“I can speak of, for example, the 50 lakh toilets already constructed in 2014-15, and I can also assure the members of this august House that we will indeed attain the target of building six crore toilets,” Jaitley said.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean Indian Campaign) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 2 last year. The programme aims at providing toilets to every household across the country.
Jaitley also said that success of tghe Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna, coal auctions and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan were among key achievements of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government since it came to office in May last year.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
