New Delhi: In May 2018, Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starred in an ad for the Swachh Bharat Mission about twin pit latrines. The ad said that decomposed fecal matter was in fact “gold”.
The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation says the twin pit technology was invented in India and the government’s Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) recommends this model for latrine construction.
