NATIONAL CLEANLINESS DAY 2015
Januray 30, 2015
30th January is observed as National Cleanliness Day every year to commemorate the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the promoter of global peace and non-violence. This responsibility for environmental cleanliness is highlighted by the observation of National Cleanliness Day on 30th January every year in India. The day calls to maintain high standards of cleanliness in our homes, work place, road/streets and public places. Cleanliness is an inevitable part of everyone's life.
Cleanliness is the absence of dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells and garbage. Most public places in India, be it a street, a lane, a government office, a railway station, a bus station, a hospital, or a public park, look filthy. The offensive sites of littered garbage, overflowing sewage, defaced walls, people in hordes easing out in the public and water logged areas dot our city and country. A clean environment is a pleasure to live in.
Personal Cleanliness & Personal Hygiene would be meaningless if we are living in an unclean environment. Therefore, cleanliness should begin from our own surroundings and even as we clean our abode daily, we should spare some effort to keep clean our city, roads, office premises & public places as well. It is the duty of all to keep the environment clean and healthy. The cleanliness of a city, village or an entire town begins from the cleanliness of individual homes. Also, India needs to focus on cleanliness to claim a respectable place in the eyes, hearts, minds and souls of its countrymen as well as foreigners.
