Students and Cleanliness
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!
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, let’s contribute to it by making ourselves clean first. We must ensure we become the real participant in this crusade against the dirt and squalor in true spirit. We must start the cleanliness drive from our own home and surroundings. Our zeal and enthusiasm for the cleanliness drive is useless, if our own home and surroundings are unclean, and we are spending hours cleaning the streets in other areas.
Students, who are so energetic and dedicated to anything they feel drawn towards, can do phenomenal work in making cleanliness a successful campaign. The best way to begin this cleanliness drive is your own room, your own cupboard, your own toilet, your own kitchen, your own garbage. Do you keep your own room and surroundings clean? Are you able to maintain the cleanliness around you? If you really do, you feel the satisfaction and contentment of being clean! Now you can lend a helping hand and your expertise in keeping the neighborhood clean! This is how we must go about this cleanliness drive. Remember, only a lit candle can light other unlit candles. Similarly, people who keep themselves clean and their surroundings clean, can help other people to achieve cleanliness objectives. Let the cleanliness begin at your own home! If each one starts maintaining cleanliness at his/her own home, the entire nation will automatically become clean.
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 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.
