Role of Students in Developing Clean Village
Students are the best bet in achieving any goal or mission. Anywhere in the world, we need the power of the youth to achieve all cleanliness and developmental goals. Without their involvement all campaigns will end up hopelessly. Let’s talk about students’ role in developing clean and green villages. Amit Abraham has very wisely said “Clean your mind and our country will automatically get dry cleaned.” India, our beloved motherland is in the direst need of cleanliness. 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 vice of apathy to the squalor lying uncleaned around us! Similar squalid conditions prevail in villages too.
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 contribute to it by making themselves clean first. They must ensure they become the real participant in this crusade against the dirt and squalor in true spirit. They must start the cleanliness drive from their own home and surroundings. Their zeal and enthusiasm for the cleanliness drive is useless, if their own home and surroundings are unclean.
Students, who are so energetic and dedicated to anything they feel drawn towards, can do phenomenal work in making villages clean. The best way to begin this cleanliness drive is by appealing the students to maintain cleanliness in their own room, cupboard, toilet, kitchen, and disposing garbage rightly.
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-principal, and the principal.
Secondly, they can make groups and go to those villages where the cleanliness status is poor. 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 and unsanitary conditions.
After launching the cleanliness drive in the abovementioned manner, green campaign can also be launched in the similar manner. Students can form groups to plant trees first in the school. Later on the tree plantation can be done in areas around the schools. With the help of Municipal Corporation or the Forest Department, a huge number of trees can be planted along rivers, lakes or canals, or in the villages where there are less trees.
In conclusion we can say India has immense youth power. All our nation is missing is channeling this power in the right direction.
