How could I persuade upon Panchayat members to construct a community complex (women complex) in our village?
Firstly it is desirable that each and every household constructs its own toilet. However, if there is shortage of space for construction of toilet in certain villages then community complex may be constructed. If a person or group of persons are interested in constructing a community sanitary complex (women complex) in a village, they need to form a group of such interested people and put forward their proposal to the village water and sanitation committee or Gram Panchayat. They will have to agree to contribute 20% of the capital cost of construction and full operation and maintenance cost. If they decide so, the Gram Panchayat may forward the application to ZP/DWSM for sanction.
