“About 90km from the state capital Shillong and barely 4km from the Bangladeshi border, Mawlynnong is much loved by its inhabitants who work hard to keep it clean”.
“The streets are all dotted with dustbins made of bamboo. Every piece of litter and almost every leaf that has fallen from a tree is immediately discarded. Plastic is completely banned and all waste disposal is environmentally friendly. Rubbish is thrown into a pit dug in a forest near the village where it is left to turn into compost”.
“The villagers here say that lessons in hygiene start in school so that children can be taught from an early age how to keep their surroundings clean and green”.
“There is a fine imposed by the village council for anybody found to be throwing litter around or cutting trees […] says village headman Thomlin Khongthohrem. Children are taught to collect litter at an early age. “Besides, the council carries out strict inspections of the sanitation facilities in each house”.
Experts attribute the village’s cleanliness an effective local governance system, a matrilineal society which makes women economically more powerful, and the local inhabitants’ respect for nature. Mawlynnong’s reputation for cleanliness has made it a popular destination for tourists. The Meghalaya state government is promoting eco-tourism in the area but the locals, who have a “fierce sense of self-determination”, are resisting this.

MY LITTLE FREE VILLAGE
I am a girl living in a small village in Kerala. Actually I was staying in hostel of Navodaya School till my 10th class. So I can come to my house in this village only on vacations. On vacations I used to enjoy very well with my family and friends. My village is small but extremely beautiful. A village is a place that is far away from the pollution and noise of the city. In my village I always feel that beauty and glory. Also, you feel a connection with the soil in a village. Moreover, there are trees, a variety of crops, diversity of flowers, and rivers, etc. Through our a village a river is flowing name Bhaveli. It was a very pure source of water for the people here. People living in cities do not know what living in a village means. They cannot understand the charms of village life. It is rightly said, “God made the country and manmade the town.” These words are extremely true. We can know the beauty and soul of a village only if we live there. And villages are the small heavens on earth. There relationship between neighbours are good and thick. Really a village life is so joyful.
Hope it help you dear mate.
