An MoU has been signed b/w the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation for Bio-Digester based Eco-friendly toilets developed by DRDO.
The Ministry has also proposed to install with DRDO developed bio-toilets in all new railways coaches.
