Five years ago, after his parents died, Rautia settled in the house his father had built at a resettlement colony. They did not have the means to allot him a house under PMAY, but they could help him get a roof over his head — through that of a toilet. "I came to know of Rautia's plight recently so I persuaded him to let me help him construct a toilet," said Japur Oram, sarpanch of Jalga gram panchayat.By March, the toilet was ready. It had four sturdy walls, which is more than Rautia's house had. With his toilet playing house, Rautia treats the outdoors as his toilet.
