Hi there, Corporates are the one who has destroyed our country, again the corporates should help in swachh bharath. They are the one who has increased the unemployment, they are the one practicing all the new ways of making money, they are the one who are growing like any thing more

First and foremost Government should think out of the box and not fix the standard of the product with 1950s technology like RCC and brick. Much faster technologies and materials are available like one team of 6 people can build a toilet using modern materials and just sunlight as source of energy! Such ideas should get grants or support/ at least tax free support to bring such work to reality check toiletforall.org more

Today there is practically no recycling of used goods. From clothes, to utensils, to mobile phones, furniture, anything that is no longer useful in the form it is, is usually thrown into the dustbin, or outside onto the street. Corporates can help in a very useful way by accepting every bit of old useless product and providing new ones in exchange for some discounted price. They will after all find use for the material being exchanged. Alternatively, there could be companies specifically engaged in sorting out old material and sending it to the proper places for re-utilization. The kabariwala could get a little more professional. more

Mandatory proper disposal of e-waste needs through law needs to be done. Incentive needs to be given to Companies who help in this cause. more
