Cleanliness campaign at your school.
Educational institutions are the best places to instil values in the impressionable minds of the children. Hence, value building and character-building should be commenced at schools. Though the importance of cleanliness is taught at school since the early classes, children should be given hands-on experience and training in maintaining cleanliness.
The schools should involve the students in maintaining cleanliness at school. Students should manage the cleanliness of their own respective classes. In some of the schools, it is the duty of school children to maintain cleanliness of their own classes. This practice is purely done with the purpose of inculcating a sense of responsibility in them and to make them sensitive and aware of the importance of cleanliness.
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 do phenomenal work in making cleanliness a successful campaign. 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-principals, and principals.
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.
Thus, schools can literally become the epicentres of this cleanliness revolution. This massive goal can only be accomplished with the mass participation of the people and students and young children are the best bet in this regard.
