GOVT. SCHOOL VISIT FOR PLEDGE TAKING CEREMONY-SWACHH BHARAT MISSION

“Cleanliness is next to goodliness”

Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan is  one step towards cleanliness.It was established on 2 nd October
2014.A clean India would be a best tribute India could pay to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150 th
birth anniversary in 2019.He invited 9 people to join the cleanliness drive and requested each
of them to draw nine more into the initiative.By inviting people to participate the Swachh
Bharat Abhiyaan has turned into a National movement.A sense of responsibility has been
evoked among people through clean India movement. Believing in the thought NSS Unit Cell
of Chitkara University, Baddi organised a visit to the government school.     


It was organised on 8th September, 2015, in Kalujhanda. Around 10 volunteers participated in
this event along with NSS president Punit Jain and vice president Ritika Goyal. The
volunteers were first asked to gather near CU bridge at 9 a.m. After which everyone headed
towards the college van which was arranged to take them to primary school in our adopted
village.The volunteers  had a short introduction with students and faculty of the school. The
NSS volunteers  and the school students took pledge on swachh bharat abhiyaanin the
presence of school faculty. After that all were provided with  sweets as mark of a positive
start to the grand desire of cleaner and greener India. 


The  motive of this event was that to make students realise the value and importance of
cleanliness in our surrounding. Being clean and tidy is important. Cleanliness should start
with personal hygiene. It is crucial for people to learn about hygiene, and the various diseases
linked to lack of it. Any habits, good or bad, taught or even picked up at a young age, get
embedded into one's personality. Unfortunately, today, many adults themselves do not set
very good examples of cleanliness. School and other educational institutions should spread
knowledge on importance of cleanliness by adding it in curriculum and textbooks.
Demonstrating cleanliness in school premises, involving students in cleaning activities is a
very good way to spread awareness about cleanliness.

We must take it as a social and moral responsibility to clean our surrounding and also educate
and encourage others to do the same. After the event completed all the volunteers were asked
to head towards the college van. Everyone reached college with a smile of satisfaction on
their faces at 10 am where they were appreciated by all for their extraordinary effort.
