Award for woman who protested against lack of toilet

-The Times of India

Union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh on Monday rewarded a woman who refused to live at her in-laws house because there was no toilet.

The decision to reward the tribal woman, Anita Bai Narre, with Sulabh Sanitation Award, comprising a cheque of Rs 5 lakh, is aimed at encouraging sanitation and hygiene, which would boost the low-cost toilet movement.

Newly-wed Anita Bai of Betul district of Madhya Pradesh hit the headlines when she revolted against non-availability of toilet and returned to her father's place. She went back to her in-laws only when her husband managed to construct a toilet within a week.
