Indian Space Research organization (ISRO) successfully sent
a space craft to Mars on a shoe string budget of four hundred crore rupees,
which is a world first. Can’t India
design an automatic toilet just like an automatic washing machine with a MSP of
Rs.10000.00? India has taken long stride in micro-processor technology,
bio-technology and electronics which can be generously used and applied to make
a low cost but high-tech toilet that would consume less water and should be
capable of processing the night soil into compost, filter the water for
non-portable use or, that could be simply drained out while killing the foul
odor. This automatic toilet should save the need and cost of expensive sewerage
pipeline and treatment plant in cities and towns. This is some thing which
could be deployed smoothly across the country to make “Swachh Bharat” a reality
soon. A country where an over 62% population goes out in the open to relieve
themselves holds a market potential of over $ 700 billion USD in Indian house
holds alone. If we could design a SMART TOILET just like SMART PHONES and WHAT
APPS then India
could truly be on the highway towards economic transformation. Any takers?
