Hoping to spread awareness in a light hearted medium, Robin Chandra Das, assistant executive engineer with the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Assam, has put together an innovative play, titled Natak Nohoi (This is not a play), where he enacts the role of a social worker promoting rural sanitation. Conceptualised by the PHED officials, as part of the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) during the Sanitation Week, the play incorporates local dialects and Assamese songs with the sanitation theme and changes according to the location it is staged in. Das hopes to spread the message of sanitation and eradicate the practice of open defecation in the state.
