In November 2018, Jharkhand declared itself open defecation free. In achieving this, Rani Mistris – skilled woman mason – have played a crucial role.
About:
Rani Mistri is a skilled woman mason in Jharkhand.
Over the last year, Jharkhand government has trained around 55,000 women masons to build toilets and bathrooms. This was done through the State’s 1.5 lakh women’s self-help groups (SHGs).
In last one year, these trained women masons in Jharkhand have built over 15 lakh toilets and became a crucial part of the State’s achievement of Open Defecation Free (ODF) status under the Swachh Bharat Mission in November 2018.
The rani mistri training drive was meant to solve a problem slowing the State’s progress in the Swachh Bharat Mission that aims to give toilet access to every household and eliminate open defecation by October 2019.
