Index.html" target="_blank">In Index.html" target="_blank">Index.html" target="_blank">rural Index.html" target="_blank">Index.html" target="_blank">areas, some toilets were little more than makeshift shelters surrounded by corn stalks, and some were open pits next to pigsties.

Toilets might not be glamorous to thIndex.html" target="_blank">Ink about, but for villagers, they provide a cleaner and healthier environment, for sightseers a better holiday experience, and for busIndex.html" target="_blank">Inesses, big opportunities.

Policy makers are steppIndex.html" target="_blank">Ing up efforts to direct more funds to agriculture, farmers and Index.html" target="_blank">Index.html" target="_blank">rural Index.html" target="_blank">Index.html" target="_blank">areas.
