Answer:
Clean India Campaign
By - Ankita
'Cleanliness is next to Godliness' is very apt and true, but not for everybody. 'Clean India Campaign' was started by our honourable Prime Minister 'Mr. Narendra Modi' with an objective to make our country clean. It has not been as effective as it should have been. There are many reasons for this, such as people followed it initially but forgot about it gradually. Many institutions had also started cleaning their surroundings and continued this process. Students also took a keen interest in this campaign and did it religiously but, on the other hand, it was not as successful as it would have been. People had participated in the campaign just for the sake of formality. As far as their own areas were concerned, they were not bothered about the cleanliness. Such campaigns can only be successful if a common man and a student would take some measures. A common man should start cleanliness from his home first. While eating by the roadside or during a picnic, one should not litter on the road or outside the bus or car; rather he should carry an extra bag to keep the wrappers, inside that bag. Moreover, a student can make others aware of the importance of cleanliness with the help of paintings, small plays, etc. It will help people to understand the need for making their areas clean. With the help of such measures, the cleanliness campaigns could be successful.
