Explanation:
India needed the CLEAN INDIA
campaign urgently. The general state of our cities, towns, colonies, rivers,
oceans, lakes, hill-stations, parks, gardens, public transportation systems,
railway stations, public toilets, etc, all indicate we as a nation are not
pro-cleanliness! The nationwide ‘Swachch Bharat Abhiyan’ is another proof of
our apathy to the squalor lying uncleaned around us!
As the entire nation is abuzz with
the cleanliness drives and campaigns under the impetus of ‘Swachch Bharat
Abhiyan’ launched by the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendera Modi,
let’s contribute to it by making ourselves clean first. Amit Abraham has very
wisely said “Clean your mind and our country will automatically get dry
cleaned.”We must ensure we become the real participant in this crusade against
the dirt and squalor in true spirit. We must start the cleanliness drive from
our own home and surroundings. Our zeal and enthusiasm for the
cleanliness drive is useless, if our own home and surroundings are unclean, and
we are spending hours cleaning the streets in other areas.
The best way to begin this cleanliness drive is your own
room, your own cupboard, your own toilet, your own kitchen, your own garbage.
Do you keep your own room and surroundings clean? Are you able to maintain the
cleanliness around you? If you really do, you feel the satisfaction and
contentment of being clean! Now you can lend a helping hand and your expertise
in keeping the neighborhood clean! This is how we must go about this
cleanliness drive. Remember, only a lit candle can light other unlit candles.
Similarly, people who keep themselves clean and their surroundings clean, can
help other people to achieve cleanliness objectives. Let the cleanliness begin
at your own home! If each one starts maintaining cleanliness at his/her own
home, the entire nation will automatically become clean.
We must not forget that our Government is trying to place
India among the most advanced nations in the world; we cannot achieve the
status without being a clean country. The time has come when our cities must be
on par with the best cities in the world. That is possible only by making them
clean first. And they won’t become clean on their own; we will have to
contribute to their cleanliness. Let’s try to be responsible citizens of this
country and free her of the stigma of ‘a dirty country’.
