The Kuteshwar limestone Mines of Steel Authority of India limited (SAIl) has taken the Prime Minister’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan further ahead. Understanding the basic requirement of hygiene and sanitation in village schools, Kuteshwar limestone Mines has spent about Rs105 lac to construct a number of toilets blocks in eight identified government schools. Each toilet blocks has separate toilets and urinals for boys and girls.
The government schools in Pahari Niwar, Piproudh, Kanhwara, Barhi, Badwara and others non-descriptive villages in Katni district of Madhya Pradesh did not have proper toilets for the students. Unaware of the basic hygiene essentials the boys and girls were to use the cluttered infrastructure every day. SAIl has marked the spot that needed immediate attention. Under the scheme, the Kuteshwar limestone mines constructed separate toilets for boys and girls in the schools of eight villages which are located in remote places where sign of development is perceptibly thin. Over 5600 students are benefitted from the CSR project of Kuteshwar mines. The basic survey conducted by the mines itself, and in consultation with the local bodies the scheme was finalised.
