In a corporate social responsibility initiative, infrastructure conglomerate L&T will build 5,000 toilets, the company announced Sunday.
"A.M. Naik, group executive chairman, announced a major CSR initiative that would add traction to the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' programme recently launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day," L&T said in a statement here.
"Objectives of L&T's ongoing CSR programme were aligned to the mission of 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'," the statement added.
