DCI has ensured that all the toilets provided have a
overhead water tank for running water facility and underground septic tank with
proper outlet discharge facility. All
the toilets complexes were handed to respective school authorities within the
deadline of 31/3/2015. The amount spent for the above toilets was Rs.37 lakhs.
These toilets have been well appreciated by one and all.
4. For the
year 2014-15, DCI has also contributed Rs.33 Lakhs for purchase medical
equipment for KGH hospital and another Rs.50 Lakh for AP Chief Minister Relief
Fund for providing relief to those affected by HudHud Cyclone.
5. For the
year 2015-16 DCI has taken up the work for constructing toilets in ten more
schools as per the list provided by SSA. While the earlier toilets were of the
conventional brick mortar design, for this year, DCI has embarked upon
constructing toilets which are more durable, easy to construct and ofcourse
maintaining best standards.
6. After
much research on the available alternatives, DCI has zeroed on portacabin
toilets in containers which can be constructed at factory brought over to the
sites in a trailer and installed in the minimum possible time. Further, for the
septic tanks instead of conventional cement type, DCI has used the modern Fibre-reinforced
plastic septic tanks which are easy to install and more hygienic. The discharge
outlets are either connected to drain or soak pit. The features of porta cabin
toilets are as under:-
a) External
- MS steel
b) Internal
- Fiber Cement Boards properly reinforced with MS channels, L angles etc.
c) The gap
between external and internal walls has been reinforced with glass wool for
providing thermal insulation.
d) Portion
of the roof is with polycarbonate sheet
to let in natural light. There is not need for any lights/ electricity.
e) eachporta
cabin is fitted witth a turbo ventilator which is wind driven and helps
circulation fresh air, again without any electricity, thus removing the
possibility of any stinking smell in the toilets.
f) All the
materials used are of reputed vendors.
The ten schools where these modern porta cabins are
being installed are as under:-
