Clean, functional toilets with basic amenities for girls in government and civic-run schools may soon be a reality. The state government's Education Department has roped in civic bodies to ensure clean toilets for girls in these schools.

Other than keeping toilets clean, every girls' toilet in school is expected to be equipped with lights, buckets and mugs, soaps, mirrors, hooks to hang bags, and dustbins. These are termed as basic facilities said a report in this paper, which also cited the established fact that girls drop out of school because of a lack of separate toilets or hygienic facilities.
