August 19, 2017

Mysuru: The moment Union Minister Piyush Goyal came to know that a city girl had built two toilets for girls in a school in the outskirts of city, he sought her out and felicitated her at the interaction session here yesterday.

Singling out Megha Kochar for her contribution to Swachh Bharat Mission, he said that she was an inspiration to millions of youngsters in the country. “I will personally bring the achievement of Megha to the notice of the Prime Minister. Her contribution of her first earning to build two toilets in a school (AC Convent) near Mysuru is indeed very inspiring and laudable,” he said after felicitating Megha.

Later, Goyal on the way to the airport visited the AC Convent, in Makanahundi village near Mandakalli Airport and spent a few minutes in the school.

Speaking to SOM, Megha, a resident of Ittigegud, said, “I was inspired by the call of PM Narendra Modi for Swachh Bharat. I am a certified Mutual Fund Advisor. I am a B.Com graduate. My father had identified the AC Convent for my initiative. I found out that girls were dropping out of the Convent due to poor toilet facilities. I decided to build two toilets from my yearly earnings. I built it on October 2 last year. The school authorities told me that because of this, they had extended the classes from fourth standard. Now, they had classes from fifth standard to seventh standard.”

    Hats off to this young lady! These are the kind of people who should be on natinal headlines! Not the corrupt scumbags who loot the nation and get exposed of their wealth to the tune of thousands of crores during iT raids, but considered heroes by the corrupt supporters and the media ! Think how many such toilets that DKShi pull have built with one bundle of notes they found! They found 5-6 room gull of notes! And yet he is considered a hero by the media!

    • Prakash says:

      Yes, the corrupt ministers who get exposed are not even worth the filthy $hit from those toilets that this girl built! I see media criticized about the timing of the IT raid in DKS case as though if he had been raided any other time, he would look like Mahathma Gandhi! Sonia and her gang plus Vadra looted over 300,000 crores starting from Bofors upto 2G and other mega scams! Just imagine, if they spent 5 percent of money on toilets, every village would get a few toilets!
