An simple idea to create low cost toilets in rural India

SBI and its associate banks has nearly 31 Cr savings bank accounts. If they deduct weekly 1.00 (One rupee) from each account, they can collect 124 Cr rupees monthly.
If they donate this amount for building low cost toilets in India, then we can build 82,000 toilets / month. To build a low cost toilet, it would cost ~12K.
