PM Narendra Modi on Sunday touched the feet of a 104-year-old woman from a village in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district who sold her goats to build two toilets at her home.
Felicitating Kunwar Bai from Kotabharri village at the launch of ‘Rurban Mission’ in the state’s Naxal-hit Rajandgaon district, Modi said her efforts to make her village open defecation free was a big sign of changing India.
This elderly woman, who stays in a remote village, does not watch TV or read papers, but the message of building toilets under clean India mission somehow reached her. She sold off her goats to build toilets at home and also encouraged others from the village to build toilets.
