A new side of Sachin Tendulkar
Iconic cricket Sachin Tendulkar, who is also a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF expressed his sadness at the number of children, who die everyday due to diarrhoea.
"Around 1,600 children die everyday due to diarrhoea. This is due to lack of knowledge on sanitation. I believe that a mother in the family plays an important role.”
“She is the one who would inculcate good sanitation habit in her children," Tendulkar said.
"Ending open defecation, achieving sanitation for all in India, takes a genuine team effort in which all relevant actors - from the Government of India to people practicing open defecation, from role models to international development partners - play together as one team," Tendulkar further said.
