Title: 5 Status Words
Entry Summary
While on one hand, people show negligence towards open defecation and maintaining a clean toilet, on the other, they are highly sensitive about their social status. Especially in their matrimonial ads.
An ad relied upon by millions of Indian families to find the right life partner for their children. The average matrimonial outlines the entire social status of a family.
Harpic, India's number one brand of toilet cleaners, tied up with Dainik Jagran, India's leading publication to use their matrimonial section and make clean toilets, one of the most basic human necessities into a symbol of status.
The problem of open defecation is most prominent in India's rural, semi-urban regions such as Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand etc.
Which is why we partnered with 'Dainik Jagran', India's leading publication to solve the problem of open defecation and unhygienic toilets using their matrimonial section.
