New Delhi — September 15, 2018 — The Human Resource Development Minister of India, Prakash Javadekar, participated in the ‘Swachhta hi Seva’ (Cleanliness Service) programme organized by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (Central Schools Organization) at Kendriya Vidyalaya (Central School), New Delhi, today. The schedule included many cleanliness activities both inside and outside the campus.
The Minister participated in the ‘Shramdaan’ (Labour Donation) activities at the programme venue along with the students of classes 9th to 12th. Many teachers and officials also took part in the Shramdaan. Mr. Javadekar himself collected plastics and waste papers to clean the roads.
Mr. Javadekar said that the students ‘swacchagrahis’ are our ambassadors of cleanliness and will bring out positive change through awareness and sensitization programs. He said that we should collectively make an effort to make our country clean and beautiful by personalizing the public hygiene.
Mr. Javadekar envisioned a plastic-free India, as plastic is non-biodegradable and an acutely hazardous waste for our environment. He also assured that the government would start these sanitation drives in all schools across the country.
The Swachhata hi Seva movement, which aims at generating greater public participation towards Cleanliness, is being organized in the run-up to the fourth anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Mission, on October 2nd, 2018, which will also mark the commencement of the celebrations of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
