“Good hygiene enhanced sound well-being”
Believing in the thought,”Not Me, But You” NSS Unit Cell of Chitkara University, Baddi
organises many events regarding the same. Wherever we live, it is important for us to keep it
clean. If our homes are clean we will obviously enjoy a healthy life. NSS as a team
understands the importance of a clean and healthy society. To promote this wonderful idea
NSS organized Shramdaan(cleanliness drive).
It was organised on 30th September, 2015, Kalujhanda. Around 22 volunteers participated in
the event. After college hours the volunteers were called near anganwadi of our adopted
village. At first the volunteers were asked to gather under the CU Bridge. The event was led
by President Punit Jain and Vice President Ritika Goyal. They guided the new volunteers
about the event and also divided them in teams which were further assigned locations and
with particular jobs.
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.
In fact, habits like smoking, chewing tobacco and betel leaves, and spitting on roads and
sidewalks, are a sick heritage handed down from our parents and elderly relatives. Many
public places used for defecating are left messy and stinking, leading to any number of
diseases. There is a dire need to educate and sensitise people about the importance of
cleanliness in light of our faith.
Litter on roads, polluted water bodies and poor sanitation make excellent breeding grounds
for creepy crawly pests. A healthy environment is necessary if we want to stay healthy. If the
environment is dirty it badly affects the health of the people living around.
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.

| SPREADING AWARENESS ABOUT BENEFITS OF MAINTAINING 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.
Everyone reached college with a smile of satisfaction on their faces where they were
appreciated by all for their extraordinary effort.
