Inadequate public sanitation has severe public health and environmental implications for fast-growing Indian cities lacking enough usable toilets. But Hari Chandana introduced creative solutions during her GHMC tenure through initiatives like She Toilets and Loo Cafes. #sanitation #swachhbharat #UrbanPlanning

She Toilets provided portable, flexible toilet units for neighborhoods lacking sewer connections while being thoughtfully designed for women’s needs. This improved access and safety. The iconic Loo Cafes went further by converting defunct urinal spaces into trendy, self-sustaining cafes using recycled materials – addressing sanitation needs while creating community assets. #Creativity #Recycling #Sustainability

Such ideas aligned to Swacch Bharat Mission have enhanced urban liveability and dignity for citizens beyond conventional infrastructure projects. Chandana’s public sanitation efforts have been hailed for their human-centric design thinking and sustainable operating models powering social change. #DesignThinking #SocialChange #HariChandana
