A day at the "Weirdest Museum!!!"

HELLO, MY READERS! This is my first blog. I hope you will like it! 

Due to Lockdown, we all miss travelling... Ain't you? But don't worry, through this blog I will help you to travel......But virtually. ;).., as my blog name suggests Quao Tour meaning Quarantine Tour... Nice name know! ;p... LOL... Jokes apart. So here goes my first post...

Sulabh International Museum of Toilets is also known as one of the weirdest museums according to Time Magazine. It was established by a social activist, Bindeshwar Pathak in 1992. It is located at Mahavir Enclave, Palam-Dabri road, New Delhi. The main idea behind the establishment of the museum is to highlight the problem of sanitation and various efforts made by people in different part of the world. 

The day at Sulabh starts with a morning prayer, where all the staff members gather in the auditorium. Although I did not get the chance to meet Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, but it was an honour to meet Dr Lalit Kumar, Senior Vice President, Sulabh International. 

Sulabh International is an India-based social administration association that attempts to advance human rights, natural sanitation, and non-conventional sources of energy, waste management and social reforms through education.

The Museum has an uncommon gathering of facts, pictures and objects specifying the memorable development of toilets from 2500 BC to date. The photos showed in the Museum makes one mindful of how the world looked like when social orders did not have the advantage of water wardrobes and the progressions that have been achieved by its creation. Different types of toilet pots are also installed in the museum to help the people to know how and what toilet pots earlier people used. There is a story behind every toilet pot being displayed and each story will amaze you. The Museum receives a daily stream of visitors from India and abroad.

Sulabh International also has its own school known as Sulabh Public School. Sulabh Public School is a unique experiment by providing infrastructural facilities and quality education to the wards of scavengers who have been liberated from manual cleaning of toilets. The scavenger’s children are given free education, uniform, books and stationery etc. In fact, it's not only about promoting education but it also provides courses like sewing, beauty parlour training, typing training, etc. 

One thing which I liked the most in Sulabh School was pad making machine. When we talk about periods or pad, whether boy or girl, somewhere we still feel a little scared or ashamed. But Sulabh Public School has installed a pad making machine and both whether a boy or a girl can simply go and make pad!!! Sounds amazing know!!

Have you ever wondered that your urine can be utilized too!! Another idea of support and development is of Water ATM machines and pay-and utilize open toilets, prominently known as Sulabh Complexes with shower, clothing and urinal offices being utilized by around ten million individuals consistently and creates biogas and biofertilizer delivered from excreta-based plants, low upkeep wastewater treatment plants of the medium limit with regards to organizations and ventures.
