Small triumphs today lead to great successes tomorrow. In #Bihar, 16 Panchayats (districts) with around 8-10 villages each were recently declared open defecation free #ODF by the Government’s Swacch Bharat mission. Behind this success story is leadership of Manju Singh, the village council head. She became the first woman to be elected the Panchayat head ‘Mukhiya’ in Hadiabad Village, after being a student in one of our vocational classes. A couple months ago, a sanitation & hygiene committee under Manju’s direction had taken initiative to get Hadiabad Village declared ODF. Now, through social awareness campaigns and through active championing, these other Panchayats have followed suit. #CLTS #WomenEmpowerment #womenleaders #swacchbharat
