As a woman who has spent about a decade working in a job that requires being on the field, the state of public toilets in India is really appalling. Every time you travel, irrespective of the place, you dread the restroom visits.
A THREAD You either drink less water and risk dehydration and other health issues or somehow use the ill maintained dirty restrooms. Some don't have water, some without dustbins and many without locks in the doors.

THREAD: On the occasion of #TeachersDay , I would like to revisit all the stories I did on some of the amazing teachers in Maharashtra who beat all odds and made learning accessible to students. @thxteacher @VarshaEGaikwad @scertmaha @CMOMaharashtra
Happy Teachers' Day! Ranjitsinh Disale, a teacher from the ZP school Paritewadi in Solapur district who has been nominated for the @TeacherPrize . Disale's innovative use of QR codes in school textbooks was later used by textbook bureaus across the country. hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/so…

Unpopular opinion but I stand by it: teachers losing jobs, big schools unable 2 sustain if parents don't pay fees for two months, compulsion of bombarding kids with instruction based learning - all of this is largely a product of commercialisation of the edu system in our country First governments allowed big corporates/private players to open schools and charge as per their whims and fancies. Then parents started sending their kids to malls and not schools. When hikes happened, parents made noise. But when schools said we don't care ,they kept quiet
