The old buses which were likely to have ended their life either in landfill sites or at a scrap dealer’s yard, but luckily, they were refurbished and put to good use by converting it into restrooms to provide women with clean toilets. Thanks to Ulka Sadalkar and her business partner Rajeev Kher who came up with this sustainable solution.

Each mobile toilet bus is solar powered and comes with Indian-style toilets, western-style ones, shower, hand-washing basins with soaps, sanitary napkins, a diaper-changing station, drinking water. Also, it is wifi-enabled as well.

This mobile toilet has been beneficial for many women and with the recent tweet by Anand Mahindra there are hopes that it will contribute and make this initiative more successful.
