A city-based private company, Eram Scientific, has come up with country’s first unmanned, self-cleaning eToilet for schools, which it claims is the cheapest in the market. The toilets have inbuilt solar panel and metallic platform for schools

“This is our contribution to the nation and comes as a response to the “Clean India Campaign” announced by the Central Government. It perfectly matches with the “Make in India” campaign as well,” said Siddeek Ahmed, chairman of Thiruvananthapuram-based Eram Group.

Built of stainless steel base, mild steel super structure and occupying 25 sq.ft space, the eToilet comes with a price tag of Rs.99,999 ex-factory, which is inclusive of insurance charges and one-year warranty.

It has got an inbuilt solar panel, which eliminates the need for electricity connection while the metal platform avoids civil construction too.

It has an automatic flush, which works before and after use, automatic floor wash, sensor controlled water usage and eliminates the need for manual cleaners in schools.

“The present problems in sanitations at schools are known to be not because of the dearth of toilets. The lack of maintenance and requirement for manual cleaning has made them dysfunctional. We are out to address that gap and that is why we are now launching this comprehensive solution for schools,” said K. Anvar Sadath, CEO.

The company had also submitted a request to the Centre for Excise Duty and Tax exemption, Sadath said

Eram Scientific has deployed over 600 e-toilets in 11 states in the country, out of which more than 200 are in schools, the release said.
