Human waste, in its rawest form, finds its way back to drinking water, bathing water, washing water, irrigation water, whatever water you see Open defecation is rampant Seventy percent of India defecates in the open Eighty percent of all diseases in India and most developing countries are because of poor quality water And when we look at the reason for poor quality water, you find that it is our abysmal attitude to the disposal of human waste In India, it is unfortunately only the women who carry water So for all domestic needs, women have to carry water So this is a pitiable state of affairs which affects them the most
So realizing how important issues like sanitation and the disposal of human waste were, we went into the arena of sanitation Together with a lot of villages, we began to talk about how to really address this situation of sanitation And we came together and formed a project called MANTRA to bring a transformation in rural areas Villages that agree to implement this project, they organize a legal society where the general body consists of all members who elect a group of men and women who implement the project and, later on, who look after the operation and maintenance From a protected water source, water is brought to an elevated water reservoir and piped to all households through three taps: one in the toilet, one in the shower, one in the kitchen, 24 hours a day
And for that, they come together, collect all the local materials - local materials like rubble, sand, aggregates Usually a government subsidy is available to meet at least part of the cost of external materials like cement, steel, toilet commode And they build a toilet and a bathing room Also, all the unskilled laborers, i.e daily wage earners, mostly landless, are given an opportunity to be trained as masons and plumbers So while these people are being trained, others are collecting the materials And when both are ready, they build a toilet, a shower room, and a water tower, an elevated water reservoir More than 1,200 villages have so far done this It benefits over 400,000 people and it’s still going on For India and such developing countries, armies and armaments, software companies and spaceships may not be as important as taps and toilets

In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent People who lived in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise produced needed goods and commodities Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family
Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of industrialization Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American continent Second, factories demand a large labor supply Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth
(6)The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was permanently altered Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense
