Betul (Madhya Pradesh): A tribal woman in Madhya Pradesh was Tuesday handed a draft
of Rs.200,000 for her "bold action" in leaving her marital home
within days of her wedding to protest against the lack of a
toilet.
Anita Narre will also be handed an award of Rs.500,000 at a
special function in New Delhi in April.
NGO Sulabh International announced the "Sulabh Sanitation Award"
to Narre for refusing to defecate in the open and sparking a
"Toilet Revolution" in her village in central Madhya Pradesh.
