Swachh Bharath ( Clean India) initiated by Our Prime Minster of India Sri Narendra Modi garu on 2nd October is gaining momentum in all towns (4041 )of India. Irrespective of the caste creed and religion and even in fact the other political parties are also welcoming the wonderful programme.
He did not simply announced the SBN (Swacch Bharath Nirman) but he also made the Brand ambassadors in all most all state of India and it is really a welcome sign. People or the followers are associated with the prominent celebrities and they are doing yeomen services….
Mahathama Gandhi Said after a visit to Banaras Hindu University of Varanasi on 4 th February 1916:I Visited the Vishwanath Temple, last evening. If a stranger dropped from above on this great temple, would not be justified in condemning us? Is it right that lanes of sacred temples should be as dirty as they are? If even our temples are not models of cleanliness, what can our self government be? We do not know elementary laws of cleanliness. We split everywhere. The result is indescribable filth.”
But one has to do lot more…..
The mindset of the people has to be changed considerably otherwise and it will be very difficult task and every citizen of India should take this very seriously and one should set an example for his own house and to his neighborhood until and unless we cannot make Clean India……..
Why we fail in keeping our surrounding clean basically for few reasons….
1.The mindset of the people has not changed and everyone wants to keeps his home clean and throws all dirt and filth outside the roads. He himself feels comfortable that he has kept his home clean that matters him and he will least bother about his immediate surroundings.
Solution:1: Once we convince him what damage is doing to the society definitely he can change his mind set for which the local colony welfare associations should take a lead in educating these people…
2. Mostly we can find dust and garbage where we can find at vacant plots. The colony people take it granted that they select these plots and they throw all waste garbage in to this plot..
Solution:2: We have to identify these vacant plots and should approach the house owner to keep the fencing or we can advise him to inspect his plot every often or he can give his plots to nearby welfare associations for utilizing these plot for a better and constructive purpose on nominal cost…
3.The GHMC has introduced garbage collecting rickshaws in all most all the colonies of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. These people collect daily garbage and they collect from each house hold rs 100 per month. No doubt these measures proved very successful as per as colonies are concerned.
These rickshaw pullers dump this garbage in selected places from these places the GHMC can come and collect these Garbage’s
4. The problem comes from the people who cannot to afford to pay rs 100 to the garbage collection boy and they would like to throw these Garbages on the roads before the empty plots or on public places like parks, temples, schools
Solution:3 and 4 The remedy here again comes the role of welfare associations and Youth associations if they can lead in educating or what harm it is going to happen then people will realizes and they can change their mindset hopefully….
We have elected our representative to look after the betterment of locality in providing safe drinking water, good conditioned, clean roads and bye lines. It is the responsibility of the GHMC to look after the inconvenience caused to the public in particular. They should feel this responsible to clear all garbage’s on priority and on regular basis.
Solution 5:The GHMC and the elected representative (Municipal elected Representatives) should make a surprise visits to these localities and if they found any such garbage is thrown on the roads they should instruct their subordinate to clear the same
Solution:6: An help line number has to be provided zone wise exclusively for the clearing of the Garbages and it should be given to all the residents of the locality….
Most of the Government Office, Hospital, Government schools and Central Government Office we can find dumping of the garbage everywhere and it is very difficult of find good and cleaned toilets .Each of these offices have the staff for exclusively for the purpose but no one is bothered to look after these issues seriously, They bother about their salaries as they are getting in time or not.
Mostly we can see in hospitals we find most unhealthy conditions
Solution:6: The concerned Head of the office realizes about the importance of cleanliness and he/she should be particular about this issue and then only things will change in a positive direction. Every month one day they should organize exclusively for the cleaning of the premises collectively. It is not for the sake of Mr Modi we have to do it and it is our minimum responsibilities that we should keep our surrounding clean and that to in hygienic conditions….
SHS: One NGO Organization Swacch Hyderabad Sena (SHS) of Hyderabad is formed under the leadership of Mr Kishore Vasudevan and they have a pilot project to be taken up at Maredplly and they would like to extend the same in other parts of the city in near future.
