    These women have worked tirelessly to make their respective communities Open Defecation (OD) Free. They have understood the much touted saying that Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

    As part of their felicitation by FORCE under the “Swatch Delhi, Swasth Delhi” (Clean Delhi, Healthy Delhi) project funded by WaterAid, the women sang bhajans in the house of God and gave a new meaning to cleanliness and Godliness.

    Jyoti Sharma, President FORCE congratulated the women on their achievement and said, “God lives where cleanliness exists. We women must take this message all over the world.”

    This is the last song sung by the women during the program. The song has been written and composed by the women themselves.

    The song congratulates ( offers “badhai”) to the women who have worked to make their respective communities OD free. And through the song, women are also making a promise that they will construct toilets in their homes and encourage all to do the same.
