For Kishore Vibhute (26), gram sevak of Hivare village in the district, his marriage on Friday was no less than a dream-come-true moment as he tied the knot only after fulfilling his vow of ensuring that every house in the village has a toilet.

Kishore got married at his native Sangam village in Latur district after achieving the goal he had set himself: to make Hivare open-defecation-free. He was inspired by 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan', said district information officer Kiran Moghe. Three years ago, only 174 out of the total 351 houses in the village had a toilet.
