CSIR-SERC demonstrates cost-effective toilet units at government school
Share on WhatsappShare on Facebook

The CSIR 800 program is aimed at improving the quality of life of common people with the help of science and technology. Quality and speedy construction of toilets are essential to meet the massive demand of providing toilet facilities to all for eradicating open defecation. 

Considering this, CSIR-SERC has developed cost-effective and durable toilet units with thin precast concrete segmental panels for rapid installation. The components of the toilet unit are precast and lightweight, while ensuring good corrosion resistance. The units are easy to transport, and assemble at the site in a few hours. The total cost of a toilet unit at the user end is about Rs.15,000. Mass production will reduce the cost further. The developed technology is modular and can be made use for a cluster of toilet units.
