NGO installs prefabricated toilets in Valavanthankottai

Trichy-based NGO Scope, in partnership with Japanese construction materials manufacturer Lixil, has installed a prefabricated toilet in Valavanthankottai, near Thiruverumbur in Trichy district. These innovative toilets, made with prefabricated panels and transparent roofs, offer quick assembly and energy efficiency, setting them apart from traditional brick or RCC models.

M. Subburaman, Padma Shri awardee and director of Scope, shared that Lixil sponsored six prefabricated toilets for families in Thondaimanpatti village, who currently depend on community facilities. A model toilet was installed at the residence of Ambikavathi Sathyamoorthy, with Lixil representative Yoshi leading the installation and conducting a demonstration on maintenance.

“These toilets are designed to use minimal water—just 500 ml is enough to clean the pan,” Subburaman explained. The unit also incorporates a twin-pit onsite waste management system, which converts waste into manure. This installation marks the first of its kind in the area, and villagers were guided on proper upkeep. Five more toilets will be installed in the village in the coming days. (TOI)
