The case study explains how the residents of Shukrawadi came together to make their village an open defecation free village (ODFV). The village was awarded the ‘Nirmal Gram Puraskar’ in 2013 in recognition of its ODFV status. The study attempts to review the roles played by various groups, the strategies used and the processes followed to achieve the status of ODFV. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. The researchers found remarkable leadership and organisational skills displayed by various individuals and groups in bringing about the desired change in the community.
