Do you reside in a dirt free village?

Gandagi Mukt Mera Gaon

Dirt-free villages are a prerequisite of the nation as more than 70% of India's population resides in villages. Cleanliness and sanitation were closest to Gandhiji's heart. He gave us freedom, we should give him a clean nation. 'I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet' is one of the great sayings of Mahatma Gandhi. 

Cleanliness not only means dirt-free surrounding but also an optimistic mind and spirit. Garbage and dirt are a menace, they demolish the aesthetic allurement of the surroundings and bring on the malady. Littering is plain barbarism.

We have not stopped walking and the finish line is near. 'Gandagi Mukt Mera Gaon' is an appreciable approach of the government for cleanliness. On 2 October 2014, the nationwide 'Swachh Bharat' mission was enthusiastically launched. 36 states and union territories, 766 districts, and over 603,175 villages have been declared open defecation free as on January 2020.

There is a need for a few more stringent measures to be taken. Awareness programs and cleanliness drives should be launched in rural areas. Government should ensure that villages are open defecation-free, people have access to safe drinking water, and a proper waste management system should be established. People should be encouraged to carry small cloth bags with them and avoid plastics. Garbage should be segregated, composting should be encouraged, and it will also provide the farmers with manure. Personal hygiene etiquettes should be taken care of. Soiled hands are massive carriers of germs and especially during the breakdown of the corona pandemic people should be encouraged to frequently wash their hands with soap or sanitizer and a maintain clean environment. Cleanliness should be the rallying cry of the entire nation.

3 Verses You Must Read

Image
1. Santa Claus Santa is on the way  Euphoric is the air  Looking for it here and there  Grey hair and the suit is red  Red and white cap on the head  Dashing through the snow!  Santa laughs: ho! ho! ho!  The jingling of the bells  Through the snowy hails  Awaited is the Christmas gift!  Santa is in the midst of mist! 2. A Father Mesmerized     By His Daughter's Eyes Like a lantern that flares brightness, You are the person who spreads kindness. You are kind, knowledgeable,  Gentle, generous, and noble. You are a tender-hearted soul.  In our lives, you play a vital role. 3. Your Importance You are sugar to my coffee    Caramel to my toffee  Shine to my trophy  Ink to my pen  You are a rare gem  The cheese in my pizza  Stamp to my visa    Break to my scooty    Straw to my fruity  Battery to my phone    The doorbell of our home  The point is you are important and without you things are difficult. Things sound better when they are together, and when heart and soul are connected, you ar

Corruption: The Cancer of Society

Corruption: The Cancer of Society After years of independence, corruption is the evil that still prevails in Indian society. Corruption is cancer in our modern society that needs to be fought on. It's a malady that has taken its roots in the minds of evil people.  In today's world, politicians make policy for their benefit and not in the national interest. Today humanity is being moralized and social values are going down. Corruption is spreading its power because of the decline in trust and honesty. Society is turned mercenary and materialistic. People have become impatient, they want their work to be done at the earliest and hence pay for it, indulging themselves in the ill deed. India scores 40/100 and ranks 85/180 in CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index), on a scale where the lowest-ranked countries are perceived to have the most honest public sector.  Corruption in India  is an issue that affects the economy of central, state, and local government agencies in many ways.

Does Nature Reclaim The Man's Retreat?

  Does Nature Reclaim The Man's Retreat? The fear of drastic consequences of frequent weather fluctuations and climate change has put nature in the reclamation. Human beings who think of themselves as the wittiest species on earth are sitting conquered, failed to tackle the curse of Mother Earth. It has been battered by hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and tsunamis as warnings. The man continues to underestimate these warnings. Consequently, they are at receiving the end. The survival of the human race is in danger.  The booming metropolis, deducing tree cover, increasing population and other single-minded destructive activities have contributed a great deal to retreat the natural environment. Amid the unprecedented coronavirus and global lockdown, scenes worthy of a Disney film have emerged, from swans gliding through the now clear canals of Venice to the blue sky over China where the air is usually chocked with smog. It proves how fast nature can reclaim the world. The world has alr
