I wonder if you were impressed about this picture. I found it disgusting. They could have used any other theme to promote the same.

My Hindi knowledge is close to Zero.. 🙁

I liked the picture…at least in some or the other way they’re trying to create awareness about women safety and the need of toilets around the house..which actually mean healthy environment !

I find this picture very effective and it is only suggesting a better life.
Incidentally,I was in Mathura a few weeks ago, trust me, they need to do something urgently for the toilets there especially for ladies.It is in a mess

Now that’s creativity . On the downside , it just shows how safe women are in the Hindi heartland. Akele gayi to ghum ho jayegi.

Nice observation I must say….
this poster gives awareness on cleanliness and safety both..
good one 🙂

Looking at the state of public toilets maintenance, its better to have one in every home…its a necessity…
Shilpa, u could’ve given the translation for those with limited hindi exposure… 🙂

This is a novel idea if there are lot of gunde log.
Hopefully it improves civic sense 🙂

Funny how the Govt. is trying to push the ‘hygiene’ factor using the ‘safety’ rod. Perhaps they’re hoping it would create a state of urgency!
July 28, 2010 8:42 am|
How creative! At least the place will be hygenic and women friendly
July 28, 2010 8:53 am|
I don’t know if I should laugh or feel sad about the state of affairs 🙁
July 28, 2010 9:07 am|
very interesting..but this happens in our cities too right? spreading awareness in any manner is a good thing and everyone must support that..
July 28, 2010 9:51 am|
oooo!
July 28, 2010 10:09 am|
ROFL 😀 …. Govt. campaign 😛 ….
July 28, 2010 10:45 am|
WHAT does this still happen out there.. i cant beleive it ..
not sure but i feel embarassed at the situation is this still happens to women..
but on other hand yeah get them built CIVIC sense:)
July 28, 2010 11:06 am|
Hope it goes beyond this picture. Nice find 🙂

What an ad…
July 28, 2010 2:58 pm|
i liked the ad. a very important thought.
July 28, 2010 3:48 pm|
Hmm…interesting and innovative!!!
Promotions generally attack the most pressing problems of the local populace!!!

A picture can speak better than a thousand word and your post is a good example. Why, women, even men need toilets and not line up by railway lines to defecate.
July 28, 2010 5:07 pm|
woaaa now thats really different idea … interesting.

@ Nithin RS : Yes, I was impressed by the message. What I liked was, that the communication is as per the need of the target audience. It makes a lot of sense.
@ kanaguonline : Oops! It says,
“Daughter-in laws and Daughters should not go far off, have/build toilets in your home.
The rogues took away Dhania.

Done Mam! (in the comment section, though!)

@ RGB : LOL 😀
@ Phoenixritu : Yeah, right! 🙂
@ Prats : I know what you mean! 😐
July 29, 2010 7:04 am|
@ Neha : Oh yes, that is very much needed!! 🙂
@ HaRy : 😐

Very very effective!

Very nice 🙂 especially the fact that it looks like a hand drawn poster.

Shilpa ji,
I like the board. I think it really brings out the contradictions in our society.
1. Don’t send women out of the house (because they aren’t safe – why? because our police and our social systems can’t keep the women safe)
2. Defecating in the open is unhygienic and archaic. Don’t do it.
I think that this board is a symbol of our trishanku society.
Thanks for the post.
