Parliamentarians Group for Children convenes roundtable on Sanitation

Parliamentarians Group for Children convenes roundtable on Sanitation
Members of the Parliamentarians Group for Children (PGC) and the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (MDWS) convened the roundtable on Sanitation in New Delhi. About 37 distinguished members from both houses of Parliament participated in the round table and put forward their suggestions to strengthen the Swacch Bharat Mission in India.
The roundtable, chaired by the Minister MDWS, Narendra Singh Tomar and convened by MP Vishweshwar Reddy also highlighted the innovative models to end open defecation in India.
The PGC is a multi-party platform, convened by Parliamentarians themselves, to engage with peers at the national and state levels for solution-based discussions and initiatives on a range of children’s issues. UNICEF has been a technical partner since its inception in 2013.
The group of parliamentarians attending the round table includes among others, Dushyant Chautala (INLD) from Haryana, Vandana Chavan (INC) from Maharashtra, Santosh Alahwat (BJP) from Rajasthan, Kahkashan Parveen (JDU) from Bihar, who have been championing issues of children at the national, state and constituency-levels.
“Access to sanitation and ensuring to end open defecation, especially in rural areas, is a top priority to develop a country where children can survive, thrive and live healthy lives. The role of legislators is pivotal in galvanizing the entire district administration and households, to take and sustain actions that result in 100 per cent coverage of ‘wanted’ and ‘used’ toilets,” said Ms. Foroogh Foyouzat, Chief Field Services and OIC, UNICEF India:
Suggestions by all the MPs were well received by the Minister, who promised that their views will be taken into account while devising campaigns at the district level.
“Parliamentarians have given valuable suggestions, which ministry will take into cognisance. We need to all work hard, so that Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of clean India is realised,” the Minster said.
