Children of her age would scrimp and save their pocket money to buy storybooks, videogames or even a smartphone. But, 11-year-old Mondrita Chatterjee waits for her piggybank to swell so that she can build toilets for the poor and the needy, especially underprivileged children. This time, her piggybank cash of Rs 19,000 has gifted two toilets to Tatanagar Satyayatan Mandir, an ashram-cum-activity centre in Haludbani, Parsudih, for poor children. With little help from Tata Technologies, which pitched in with Rs 9,000, her dream came true. Rural records of the Union government's Swachh Bharat Mission puts the toilet coverage percentage in Jharkhand at a moderate 53.93.
