Cleaning for education

Kaluana village in Sirsa along Haryana’s dusty borders with Rajasthan has redefined what ‘public-private partnership’ can mean in terms of girls’ education and social development. It is utilising a combined prize money of Rs 25 lakh that it won as the ‘Cleanest Village’ at both the national and state levels to promote education for women. The initiative has galvanised a whole block of 48 villages in the Dabwali block.
