Tamil Ingenuity at its Best in TN

Friday, 8 May 2009 - 2:10 PM SL Time

While the world is clamoring to find ways to generate new energy sources, the TN Tamils have devised an ingenious way to come up with a SUSTAINABLE energy source.

In TN, the people can comfortably make a deposit at a place called an ECO SAN COMMUNITY COMPOSIT TOILET

This facility is basically a place where people can go and relieve themselves either liquid deposit or solid deposit Basically they are 5HIT Centers or SCs!

Reports say that the SCs are most croweded in the mornings...!

The TN government of course pays a decent amount in Indian Rupees for each deposit. I was told that the payment depends on the type of deposit.

Probably our TN expert Chennai could give us more detail about the payments.

In case of kids, the payment goes to the parents... ! Well to do parents, with bank accounts, can request to make the payment electronically direct to their bank accounts...!

The best thing about these SCs is that the deposits are being used to generate some gas and then electricity... If all 70 million in TN become loyal fans of these SCs, it had been estimated by a Tamil Think Tank that the generated electricity would be enough to even supply to the entire Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka.

Anyway, I am posting these photos, because on the main thread when I described this ingenious idea some fellows wanted to see the photos.

The bottom shows the way that they used to do the top photo shows how people lined up to make a deposit and get paid!

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos... I scanned them and they did not come that good..!

I thought Tamil was the official language in Tamilnadu.
But the name board is in English.
Maybe majority of the users use their nose to find it!

Even while experimenting with the success of the eco-san compost toilet project in Musiri special village panchayat on the banks of the Cauvery in the district, the Society for Community Organisation and People's Education, a non-governmental organisation, has planned to implement it at flats in the urban limits.

Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, the Director, SCOPE, M. Subburaman, said a workshop would be held around June this year, in which builders, flat promoters, civil engineers and environmentalists would be convinced of the advantages of eco-san toilets, particularly reduction in the use of water in toilets, prevention of contamination of underground water and above all efficient utilisation of urine and human excreta for composting to enhance soil fertility and agricultural productivity.

The SCOPE, the WASTE Netherlands and the Musiri special village panchayat have been implementing a special scheme 'Musiri Ecosan Pilot Project' to protect the groundwater table.

He said that a community eco-san toilet, constructed with funds sanctioned by the 'Waste Netherlands' at Rs. eight lakhs, first of its kind in the country, would be declared open on April 11 by former Vice-Chancellor of Gandhi Gram Rural Institute, N. Markandan.

The Advisor, SCOPE, V. Ganapathy, said Musiri's advantage of water-table just a few feet below the ground also proved its disadvantage, making it a high-risk zone for contamination of the resource, as a large volume of water is used at the toilets.

Work on one community toilet and 60 household units had been completed against the plan of two community toilets and 500 individual units, he said.

Katairgamam/ Sripatha/ Nuwraeliya season you will find all this habbits by the sri lankans.
If you go around the beach ares in lanka its very common to see lankans doing it..only tourist site are kept clean.
Thotalanga is one of the dirties place in Colombo, you will see many 5Hiting next to the kelaniya and wash their A&& with the dirty water.
