On the occasion of Swachhta Pakhwara, the Department of Sanitation and Operations (DSO) is taking proactive steps to organize a series of activities at all its terminals and LPG plants in collaboration with channel partners. These initiatives aim to spread awareness and encourage individuals to contribute towards building a clean and hygienic India. From cleanliness drives to the distribution of saplings, nukkad natak (street plays), administering pledges, and conducting drawing competitions, DSO is determined to create a positive impact on the society’s cleanliness mindset.
Cleanliness Drive
The cornerstone of the Swachhta Pakhwara initiatives is a massive cleanliness drive. Employees, along with channel partners and local communities, actively participate in cleaning activities at DSO terminals and LPG plants. This hands-on approach not only instills a sense of responsibility but also fosters a collective effort towards maintaining cleanliness in the surroundings. By actively involving stakeholders, DSO aims to create a long-lasting impact that extends beyond the duration of Swachhta Pakhwara.
Distribution of Saplings
In addition to promoting cleanliness, DSO recognizes the importance of environmental sustainability. As part of the initiatives, saplings are distributed to employees, channel partners, and members of the community. This not only contributes to enhancing the green cover but also emphasizes the interconnection between cleanliness and a healthy environment. The act of planting saplings symbolizes the growth and nourishment of a cleaner and greener India.
Nukkad Natak (Street Plays)
To captivate the attention of the masses and effectively spread the message of cleanliness, DSO organizes nukkad natak or street plays. These interactive performances take place at various locations near DSO terminals and LPG plants. With engaging scripts and talented actors, these street plays effectively communicate the importance of cleanliness and hygiene practices. The plays highlight the positive impact that maintaining cleanliness can have on our lives and communities.
Administering Pledge
To create a lasting commitment towards cleanliness, DSO arranges pledge-taking ceremonies. Employees, channel partners, and community members gather to pledge their dedication to keeping India clean and hygienic. By publicly expressing their commitment, individuals become more conscious of their actions and strive to make cleanliness a way of life. The pledge ceremony serves as a powerful reminder of the shared responsibility we have in building a cleaner future.
Drawing Competition
To engage the younger generation and nurture their creativity, DSO organizes drawing competitions. Children from nearby schools are encouraged to showcase their artistic skills by creating drawings related to cleanliness and hygiene. These competitions not only provide a platform for children to express themselves but also reinforce the importance of cleanliness in a fun and interactive manner. The best drawings are awarded, fostering a sense of accomplishment among the participants and motivating them to actively contribute to a cleaner India.
