Ingenious Indian ‘Jugaad’: DIY Tap with toothpaste leaves internet amazed

Jugaad, the art of ingenious improvisation, holds a special place in the hearts of Indians. It's more than just a makeshift solution; it's an emotion deeply ingrained in our culture. 

Recently, a video emerged on the internet that left Desis feeling proud of the remarkable jugaad skills displayed by some resourceful individuals.

Harsh Goenka, the Chairperson of the RPG Group, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video that quickly became a sensation. The video featured a clever DIY tap solution. 

In this viral clip, locals demonstrated their innovative approach to address the challenge of a limited number of taps in their houses. Their solution? Simply cut up a small tube of toothpaste, open the rear end, and attach it to the water outlet.

Accompanying the video, Goenka humorously captioned it, "Taps in India like….#jugaad."
