Sir,
National Cleanliness Day was celebrated on Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary, with a view to focus attention on the public health. Although this work has to be carried out through out the year, it is felt that at this stage of the programme, increased emphasis at one time may be helpful in stimulating and sensitizing the people as well as workers.
Sanitation is a way of life. It is the quality of living that is expressed in the clean home, the clean village, the clean school, the clean surroundings and the clean community. Being a way of life, it must come from within the people; it is nourished by knowledge and grows as an obligation and an ideal in human relations.
Activities for the celebration of the National Cleanliness Day can be categorised under three heads, namely (a) activities at family level (b) activities at Mohalla level, and (c) activities at village or community level. To encourage healthy competition and to provide a stimulus to people’s participation cleanliness competitions may be announced in advance and organised and subsequently prizes distribution to best kept (a) house (b) Mohalla and (c) village or institution. Such places should, therefore, serve as model of cleanliness which teach the people about the need for better sanitation for better health.
Yours etc…
