US Ambassador hails Sulabh’s techniques

The US would consider using Sulabh International’s sanitation and water conservation techniques and help in its promotion globally, said US Ambassador Tim Roemer addressing a group of liberated scavengers and students from under-privileged sections of society here over the weekend.

Mr. Roemer, who visited Sulabh International’s headquarters on a special request from its founder Bindeshwar Pathak, lauded the work done by the NGO in the field of sanitation and commended use of its technology across the globe, particularly in poor countries.

“As a representative of America, I am proud of the values and ideas exhibited and efforts made in protecting the environment and improving the quality of life of downtrodden people,” he added.

Mr. Roemer also got a first-hand experience of various technologies developed by Sulabh International and visited its toilet museum. He particularly appreciated Sulabh’s twin-pit pour-flush toilet technology and generation of bio-gas from human waste.

Sulabh public toilet and bath facilities are currently available at 7,500 locations across India, serving an estimated 1-crore people daily.
