Santakar:

I checked the Koraput Blog today and saw the many photos you have put on
Snapfish. Very interesting material.

From some of the texts accompanying the photos I have learned that good,
clean toilets are a priority for the school children. I thought it
interesting that the children claim at some schools the toilets are locked,
and I assume only available to the teachers and administrators. Maybe
that's because the kids make a mess of the toilet. Here in the USA the
schools have separate toilets for the adults and children.

I hope more toilets are installed for the children in the schools and in
their homes and villages.

This man wants to bring good toilets to all of India:

http://www.sulabhinternational.org/

Attached is a pic of the toilets at the campground where I stayed the night
before I climbed Half Dome Mountain. It requires no water for flushing, and
there is no smell, as a solar powered fan keeps the air pressure in the
bathroom slightly above that of the outside, so of course no smells can
drift in from the tank beneath the toilet seats. The tank itself
incorporates wood chips that have been infused with some kind of special
bacteria that eats the defecation more efficiently than the common
bacterias, and renders the whole mess into a compact and less odorous
compost that is then carried out on the backs of mules every couple of
weeks during the peak of the camping season (summer). Although both urine
and solid waste enters the tank, the warm air and additional solar power
fans dry out the urine so the compost that is removed is quite dry, like
soil.

In Koraput, such compost could be dumped in forests or used for the growing
of flowers.

You might wonder why the compost from the toilets in the picture is carried
out by mule instread of being dumped in the forest. That is because of
technicalities of the law, which require that efforts be made to prevent
the camp from having any negative effect on the forest. So all campers
must take their trash back down the mountain, and the human compost is
taken down the mountain also. Someone is likely profiting from hauling the
compost down the mountain, and I doubt there is much incentive on the part
of anyone else to mount a campaign against this ridiculous interpretation
of the law. So the taxpayer's money is wasted, as usual.

I did speak with the man who was loading up the compost on his mules. He
told me that sanitation is also a reason why the compost is packed out. As
the river is only about 200 yards from the toilets, packing the compost out
insures against water contamination. (of course one could simply pack the
compost further away from the toilets and then dump it. These toilets are
about 4 hours up the mountain from the trailhead.)

I can get more info about how the toilets are built for you or whoever
might be interested.

Why not give the Child Reporters the info about Sulabh International and
the pic of the attached toilets and let them confront the adult authorities
with the fact that the solution is likely well within reach, and perhaps
the slow implementation of such facilites and technologies is the result of
adult laziness and corruption. Please try to be there and snap a picture
of the faces of the adults when they are presented with these accusations.
What fun!

Cheers

Rob Harvey

‘We are poor because we don’t want to come out of the tag of being poor. Begging in the name of poverty has become a regular practice ‘ argued Binod Kumar Nayak , a child reporter from Ekkamba UP school in Jeypore block of Koraput district . He was responding to a question from Biswajit Kuldeep , a fellow child reporter from Adamanda UP School in Dasmantpur block to find out the reason of poverty in the region and more particularly among the rural masses, while participating in the district level ‘Child reporters’ Congress’ organized in the premises of tribal Museum of Koraput today .

More than 80 child reporters from all the 14 blocks of the district and the ULB of Koraput had come together to discuss on various issues that was affecting them and their community . While talking about provisions of toilets in the school , Evan Kandapan from Borigumma UP School narrated the stories of schools where the school toilets were locked and banned for use by children . Prasant Kumar Das , DPC of DPEP/SSA , taking a note of it from the children had assured that the schools will be directed to keep the toilets open for the children .

While highlighting the need of consuming Iodised salt in the diet , Dr.Pitambar Sahu , a retired doctor from Koraput said that the schools should have iodised salt in their mid day meal, Kavita Hantal a child reporter alleged that schools , despite of strict guidelines were using non iodised salt and urged the authorities to ensure the use of iodised salt in schools so that the children could lead a healthy life . Further expressing concern over the poor sanitation in villages , Sankuli Biswal , Project Coordinator of DWSM had asked the children to see that individual household toilets become a reality in each of their villages so as to ensure a healthy living for the children .

Despite of several interventions and rules and regulations children were seen punished by many teachers in the schools , Amit Kumar Jena , a child reporter from Ramgiri said . While responding to his concern , Narasingh Das , CRCC of Koraput said that there were many ways to teach the children rather than punishing them for their mistakes and corporal punishment should be dealt with all its seriousness .

Responding to a question from a child on the poor quality of rice being supplied to the schools causing ill health , Biranchi Narayan Rath , Sub-Collector of Koraput said that while measures were taken to see that proper rice and food stuff was supplied to the schools , the possibilities of poor quality rice as mentioned by the child could not be ruled out . he also ad assured the children that the district administration would look into the matter .

Festive occasions like Annual Function and Annual Sports brought new reasons to attend schools , Raimati Kandili , a tribal child from Boipariguda said . While appreciating the conduct of such functions in some schools in the district , children from many other schools were denied to celebrate , Subhasree Mandangi , from Forest Colony UP School in Koraput said . While there was no particular provision of funding to the schools the school management could take the support of the community to organize such events , Ashok Kumar Pangi , President , Zilla Parishad , Koraput said . However he also had urged the district education authorities to find out the ways if the schools could be given financial support to organize by themselves .

While appreciating the growing confidence in the children after getting involved in child reporters process , Sunil Verma , Programme Communication Officer from UNICEF said that this process which was born in the hills of Koraput had spread its wings to the shores of Andhra Pradesh , Bihar , Maharastra and many other states in the country . He had assured to take the fruits of the process further for it had ensured more child participation in the school and community , and had also created more opportunities for the children .

Sharing their views on the development of the child reporters Santosh Mishra and Pramaod Pattnaik, senior journalists from Koraput advised that the children should look towards more positive aspects of life than looking at only the darker sides of the society. Social workers like Pravakar Adhikari , U.Daniel, Advocate Ajit Patro and District Coordinator of Ankur , Saushant Nayak also had joined the children .

The annual issue of Ankurodgam , the bulletin of child reporters was inaugurated on the occasion .
