Question

Essay on cleanliness and hygiene in school

Answer 1

                   Cleanliness and hygiene practices in school

Educational institutions are the best places to instill values

in the impressionable minds of the children. Hence, value building and

character building should be commenced at schools. Though the importance of

cleanliness is taught at school since the early classes, children should be

given hands-on experience and training in maintaining cleanliness.

The schools should involve the students in maintaining cleanliness

at school. Students should manage the cleanliness of their own respective

classes. In some of the schools, it is the duty of school children to maintain

cleanliness of their own classes. This practice is purely done with the purpose

of inculcating a sense of responsibility in them and to make them sensitive and

aware of the importance of cleanliness.

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, students can do

phenomenal work in making cleanliness a successful campaign. In order to

maintain cleanliness at school, students should make cleanliness monitoring

committees consisting of some prefects in every class. They should not let any

student throw litter either in the class or anywhere else in the school campus.

These committees should work in coordination with teachers, vice-principals, and

the principals.

Secondly, they can make groups and go to those colonies

where plots are being used as dumping grounds and reason with people. They

can form teams and carrying posters depicting negative effects of garbage on

the people living in the surroundings and general environment, they can hold

seminars or street plays to sensitize people to myriad health related problems

caused by the garbage mounds.

Thus, schools can literally become the epicenters of this

cleanliness revolution. This massive goal can only be accomplished with the mass

participation of the people and students and young children are the best bet in

this regard.
