How will I motivate my friends about “Swachchta”?
‘One can set an example by being an example’ is the motto I would follow to make a positive impact on any initiative. So this would also apply if I want to influence my friends to follow a ‘Swachchta’ initiative which means cleanliness drive.
In fact, I already follow this principle in my personal life. I ensure that I am clean and my surroundings are also clean. This is especially easy staying in a flat than an independent house /bungalow where there is more open space needing personal attention. This kind of initiative is on an individual level which I hope most of us follow. But what about the spaces outside our apartments and the areas covering our neighbourhood?
How much do we pay attention to that? Also, we travel daily from one place to another. We do observe lot of unclean areas. These are the things I would very much want to share with my friends and also make them understand the significance of ‘Swachchta’ around us. This is easier said than done. I may bring forth all the valid points and discuss it with them. They may all agree and even may promise to do something about it too. But where do we start?
I would start by not littering in public places, choose holidays to collect some friends to act on the cleanliness drive. For that, I have to convince my friends of the significance of such an initiative. This initiative would not only motivate others to follow but the actual experience of enjoying the fruits of such labour too. This kind of physical work could either be done personally or can be done with hired help. To hire help, one needs financial resources which would entail a larger group and also collection from outside sources.
The most important factor is starting on it somehow with the means available and take it forward for continuance in future with better resources. Otherwise the purpose is lost. The second step would be to discourage others from littering, desecration of public places by spitting or urinating etc. . These initiatives are more effective by sticking relevant posters in appropriate places or other better means to make an impact and also talk to people personally to make them understand the significance of abstinence from desecration. Catching people in the act and talking to them may be more effective but this needs to be done delicately.
Swachchta should be a community oriented drive for better effectiveness. So I would want to have the support of my friends in this initiative to make a positive impact on our society. I will drive home the point that we collectively form the society and so we could have the desired result of Swachchta in our community if we ourselves follow it and encourage others to follow it too.

include drinking water, hand washing, toilet and soap facilities in the school compound for use by children and teachers. The human development components are the activities that promote conditions within the school and the practices of children that help to prevent water, hygiene and sanitation related diseases.
School sanitation and hygiene depend on a process of capacity enhancement of teachers, community members, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and education administrators. Water, sanitation and hygiene in school aims to make a visible impact on the health and hygiene of children through improvement in their health and hygiene practices, and those of their families and the communities. It also aims to improve the curriculum and teaching methods while promoting hygiene practices and community ownership of water and sanitation facilities within schools. it improves children’s health, school enrolment, attendance and retention and paves the way for new generation of healthy children. It is the role of policymakers, government representatives, citizens and parents to make sure that every child attends a school that has access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation and hygiene facilities. This is every child’s right.
The benefits of water sanitation and hygiene to school children
The provision of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in school secures a healthy school environment and protects children from illness and exclusion. It is a first step towards a healthy physical learning environment, benefiting both learning and health. Children who are healthy and well-nourished can fully participate in school and get the most from the education. Hygiene education in schools help promote those practices that would prevent water and sanitation related diseases as well as encourage healthy behaviour in future generations of adults.
Girls are particularly vulnerable to dropping out of school, partly because many are reluctant to continue their education when toilets and washing facilities are not private, not safe or simply not available. When schools have appropriate, gender-separated facilities, an obstacle to attendance is removed. Thus having gender segregated toilets in schools particularly matters for girls. Gender norms and physiology make privacy more important for girls than boys, and biological realities mean that girls need adequate sanitary facilities at school to manage menstruation. Basic facilities that provide for good hygiene and privacy, along with sensitive health promotion assist girls to stay in school and complete their education.
Hygiene in school also supports school nutrition. The simple act of washing hands with soap before eating the school mid day meal assists to break disease transmission routes. Children get the nutritional benefits intended, rather than ingesting bacteria, germs and viruses. Studies show that when hand washing becomes part of a child’s daily routine the benefits to health are evident and the practice does not easily fade. School is therefore an ideal setting for teaching good hygiene behaviours that children can also carry home.
Having safe water, toilet and hygiene facilities in schools promotes equity. All children are equal in their right to access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, and all children gain benefits through the improved hygiene practices promoted in schools. By providing gender-segregated toilets, students are assured of privacy and dignity, a particularly important factor for girls’ school attendance. By providing inclusive and accessible facilities, children with special needs are able to attend school and further contribute to the development of their society.
