Indians Unsanitary Development

UN experts have published a nine-point prescription for achieving the world's Millennium Development Goal for sanitation by 2015.

Their report reveals that 600 million Indian people - the equivalent of 54% of the population - defecated in the open air in 2008/9. In contrast to this poor figure, 545 million Indians have admitted to owning mobile phones and being connected to a network.

Following the publication of these conflicting statistics, Zafar Adeel, director of UN think-tank the Institute for Water, Environment and Health, has reinforced the need for a ‘popular education' about the dangers of poor sanitation.

'‘This simple measure could do more to save lives, improve health and help pull India and other countries in a similar circumstance out of poverty than any alternative investment' he said.

The Indian Government has vowed to end open defecation by 2012 ..... no chance, they prefer to beg for alms from the West and then spend their own money on Space Rockets, Nuclear weapons and stealing western jobs.
