The toilet module is prefabricated single mould without joints and its interiors are seamless with no sharp edges and corners to avoid dust accumulation. Made to serve the convenience of physically challenged, women and men, the public toilet has also been provided with excellent interior lighting with natural light in day by a polycarbonate translucent roof sheet with metal protection to meet the requirements of sufficient power supply in the toilet all along. In order to address the issue of waste disposal which is of primary importance, the whole system has been connected with underground sewer lines already existing at the place.NAMMA Model Public Toilet inauguration-indianbureaucracy
