Meet a 105-year-old Kunwar Bai from Dhamtari’s Kotabharri village, Chhattisgarh, who built toilets by selling her goats. She sold her goats to build toilets at her home. She did this as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan mascot.

Though Kunwar Bai is above 100, her enthusiasm for a better life has not darkened. She determined to stop the habit of open defecation in her family. Thus, she sold off eight to ten goats to build toilets in the house.

For this, Kunwar Bai has not only been felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself but also picked as the mascot for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. She was felicitated by PM Modi when he visited Chhattisgarh to launch the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Rurban (rural-urban) Mission.

Narendra Modi has also touched her feet to seek blessings of her. Modi will be again felicitating Kunwar Bai at the ‘Swachhta Diwas’ event in New Delhi on September 17. Kunwar Bai has also been spreading awareness about the importance of using toilets to fellow villagers.
