For more than two months, a 3 ft x 4 ft x 6 ft latrine worked under the Swachh Bharat Mission in Baisana town in Kishorenagar taluka of Odisha's Angul region was home to a septuagenarian lady and her three grandkids. 

The two young ladies (matured 5 and 8 years) and a kid (matured 6) came to live with their maternal grandma Bimala Pradhan three years back after their mom kicked the bucket and father deserted them. 

Pradhan at that point lived in a mud house and invested the vast majority of her energy meandering in the timberland and towns looking for work. "I don't possess land, I live any place I discover space. Yet, I am maturing and I can't continue doing that. Presently I likewise have three kids (with me). After the precipitation this season, the mud house was harmed. The latrines were as of late built and nobody was utilizing them. So I moved in alongside the children. We cooked in the open and the children rested inside when it down-poured around evening time. We had no place else to go," 

Following a mediation by nearby activists, the lady and the kids were moved to the panchayat office incidentally and later to a restoration place on Wednesday. 

Inquired as to whether she had moved toward the organization or the town panchayat for help, Bimla stated, "They request archives and I have none. I continue moving to search for work. I was stuck in one spot because of the lockdown." 

Without vital archives, Bimala and her grandkids have not gotten advantages of social government assistance plans, including free foodgrains under National Food Security Act (NFSA). 

Kashinath Sahoo, Panchayat Executive Officer of Handappa gram panchayat under which Baisana town falls, said Bimala's name doesn't include in the recipient rundown of NFSA. "After the lockdown, camps were sorted out to incorporate recipients. But since of absence of records, she was unable to be selected. We were unable to give the archives since she has been continually progressing, so perhaps she was not in the town when camps were composed," Sahoo said. 

Shyamal Ray, who as of late took over as BDO, Kishorenagar, said they will investigate why no move was made every one of these months. "For the present, it was imperative to restore them. The kids will be tried out schools and moved to a shelter. The Child Protection Office will deal with them. We can give them a proportion card, however right now it is critical to restore them intellectually. When they are prepared to be all alone, financial restoration can be given," Ray said. 

Dissident Rajnith Patnaik, who had raised the issue with the organization, stated, "This one model brings up numerous issues about different plans the administration brags of. Nobody from the town broadened help. The youngsters have never been to class. The lady doesn't get annuity or proportion. In spite of focal and state plans for poor people, a family was mulling. This ought to be asked into by higher authorities." 

Prior this month, a 50-year-old day by day bet was discovered living in a latrine in Jharsuguda area after his kutcha house was harmed because of downpour. He, as well, didn't get proportion as his Aadhaar card was not connected to his NFSA card.
