Clean, functional toilets with basic amenities for girls in government and civic-run schools may soon be a reality. The state government's Education Department has roped in civic bodies to ensure clean toilets for girls in these schools.
Other than keeping toilets clean, every girls' toilet in school is expected to be equipped with — lights, buckets and mugs, soaps, mirrors, hooks to hang bags, and dustbins which are termed as basic facilities.
