My City, Clean City – A Collective Initiative for City Beautification

With a new venture to give our cities a green look and garbage free all the time, Manipur’s Thoubal Keithel and Kakching Keithel have been decorated with many hanging flower pots and installed portable waste disposal bins at several locations for collection of general waste and recyclable waste. It is also planned that the collected recyclable waste would be handed over to the private firms collecting recyclable materials and to the private recycling plants operating in Manipur.

A joint initiative on city beautification through community participation under the theme “My City, Clean City” taken up by European Manipuri Association (EMA), Korea Manipuri Association (KMA) in collaboration with The Great Thoubal (TGT), Green Revolution Society, Manipur, Thoubal Municipal Council, Kakching Municipal Council, Kakching Bazar Business Welfare Association, the city beautification campaign with installation of hanging flower pots and solid waste bins was held at Thoubal Keithel on July 20 and Kakching Keithel on July 22, 2013.

The idea of this mission My City, Clean City is inspired from the life experiences of the members of European Manipuri Association, London and Korea Manipuri Association, Suwon while living away from home in foreign countries. This initiative is also designed to work as a collective effort by involving local government units such as municipal councils and local NGOs in order to bring changes in the existing norms of that particular locality. Hence this initiative remains supplementary to the existing public and voluntary units operating locally and during such collaborative initiative process changes will be brought to the hearts and mind of local community and keeping one’s environment neat, clean and green become a moral responsibility for the people.

The main concept of this initiative is to get involve the larger community towards the effort of making a green and garbage free city which is a communal place. Earlier, European Manipuri Association initiated such campaign in the historic Khwairamband Ima Keithel, a unique market place run exclusively by woman and the only in the world. ‘Blooming Manipur Project’ was initiated as an experimental project but at the moment it is functioning as an autonomous body after the completion of the project timeline with EMA.

“My City, Clean City” is an initiative taken up collectively by the community of Thoubal and Kakching to make their communal places clean and beautiful. Moreover, it is to instil the spirit of community participation and civic pride for their towns, city and villages.
