Sir,
The paramount significance of Swachhta in our life is embodied in a famous proverb ” Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. The Indian philosophy enshrined in our age old scriptures and the refined cultural ethos depict and vehemently communicate the message loud and clear but over the times immemorial it is being regretfully noticed that the deep cultivated message of Swachhta being an inalienable part of our civic life, perhaps unfortunately stand erased from our psyche . The sum total of the whole matter is that the nation at the moment has been grappling with the herculean task of achieving reasonable cleanliness at all levels. The incumbent Prime Minister has taken the bold initiative since assumption of power and the message is percolating down the line in gradual manner. Number of NGOs and social activists are joining the fray. The underlying motivation is to make whole of India a neat and clean country but this mission cannot be accomplished without the participation of all and sundry. The program needs to be implemented religiously on a mass scale.
Political establishment has their own defined role wherein the top man has already proved his credibility. We the people of India have to follow the suit and take this Swachhta Abhiyan towards its logical conclusion in all practical terms. We have a large bureaucracy, galaxy of NGO’s, clusters of dedicated social activists and the committed people in different segments of society who can inspire and motivate the masses at the root level . Concerted efforts with a missionary zeal is the buzz word. We have to start from our own house, neighbourhood , locality, the whole village , town and the city. During the course of this indispensible Swachh Bharat campaign, common masses have started getting involved with the inspirational work of few extraordinary people in the persona of a bureaucrat, social activist or an uncommon politician across the country who are acting beyond the call of duty to transform the destiny of hapless , downtrodden and underprivileged people in remote areas in number of blocks, tehsils and district headquarters where their concerned revenue officers and staff have been doing a wonderful job as well. They have enlightened and inspired villagers and their women folks to switch over to in– house toilets by arranging financial assistance for them through the Govt schemes. Swachhta both internal and external is the backbone of a strong nation. Let us volunteer ourselves to this virtuous act in the spirit of a divine duty.
Yours etc…
