Today 2 Indians die a minute from air pollution, diarrhoea kills more children under the age of 5 than any other disease and lack of sanitation has allowed for the spread of deadly diseases.┬аWe as citizens need to step up and start a Swachhagraha.
NDTV-Dettol Banega Swachh India is looking for swachhagrahis,┬аwaste warriors, women, men and children who are helping make India clean and influence clean habits.
If you have done anything in the following field, then, we request you to take part in our Swachh Warrior Contest. You can also nominate two of your friends to take the #SwachhIndia challenge.
S sanitation
W waste management
A air pollution
C cleanliness
H health
H hygiene
Maybe you are planting trees, talking to people about sanitation, physically cleaning up places, coming up with ideas to clean the air, reduce plastic use, educating people on how to be clean and healthy. If you have done work in any or all of these areas, send in your entries – 5 photos, a small write up of what you have done and the impact that has been created.┬аNDTV will pick the top three people and ideas and on the 2nd of October, which is also celebrated as Rashtriya Swachhta Divas,┬аwill showcase their work┬аon our channels. Moreover, the winners will also get a chance to be part of our 12-hour Cleanathon┬аand meet our campaign ambassador Amitabh Bachchan.

Sir,
I have been doing not much, but 1 hour per day near my area for the last one month. It gives so much of satisfaction. It has opened my eyes. I did not know how to start the campaign.
On the first day, I told my wife that I would go for a walk. It is easy to sit at home and be an arm chair critic. But no one wants you at home to take a broom and clean. So I went for cleaning pillars near Begumpet, next to CM’s office , Hyderabad. I just went to clean without anything in my hand. I realised I need something to remove posters. I took a small stone and removed some posters. It was very tough to remove, especially on the first day. Then on seeing me from a nearby flat, an elderly gave me a bottle of water to sprinkle and remove posters. It worked. Then I started Swacch Bharat every day with a small stone, two bottles of water with a sprayer.
One day a regular walker asked, “Are you a government employee?”. I smiled and started cleaning. Another person on another day asked, “Why are you cleaning? Anyway politicians would paste posters again.What is the use?”. I understood the significance of silence. One day a policeman had stopped his vehicle and asked, “Sir, I am seeing you every day. Why you should do this? Are you working?”. I said, “Sir, I had just a few months back retired from a bank. Mr. Modi has inspired me through his Swacch Bharath campaign. Just for the joy of doing it, I am doing every day 1 hour sir.” He saluted me. I just said, “Sir, Don’t make me big. In front of policemen and army men, I am nothing. We need in fact bow before you, for the service you are doing for this country, even without recognition.”. On the other day, one passer by sarcastically asked, “Sir, How much are you paid for this job?”. I just smiled him away. While cleaning a pillar, one day, two youths in a motorbike sarcastically said, “Old man, no work for you?” and zipped past through me.
Everyday I had a new experience and a lesson or two, which I have not learnt over sixty years of my life. One very important thing is the commitment , which I had never had during my college days. The commitment to do one hour Swacch Bharat every day is a great task and tests one will and also character. This one hour per day taught me to be quiet and do work silently. I don’t know whether my cleaning every day keeps my surroundings clean or not, it helped me to be calm and do something very positive and quietly do things irrespective of claps and jeers.

Sufficient awareness has been created all over the country. The common man has started Cleaning India…but government agencies and the whole mechanism is still in slow mode… Success of clean India is now totally dependent on accelerated approach to be adopted by our municipal agencies… it is the constrain for a common man… he is cleaning up to 10 yards but waiting for municipal agencies to remove his collected rubbish…

Residents are now recycling more than 36% of their waste, and this means that the amount of rubbish that we throw into landfill is dropping. This is great news for the environment, helping to reduce landscape destruction and loss of natural habitats and wildlife. It also helps to reduce emissions of methane, which is global warming gas with an impact 23 times stronger than carbon dioxide! Reducing and recycling your waste also helps conserve natural resources like oil, and save energy. So do your bit by recycling as much as possible.and reducing your waste.

The root cause is indiscriminate dumping of all kinds of waste by people that must be tackled on a war footing by bringing in legislation and punishable by hefty fines and even detention

Ironically Delhi Development Authority(under the Ministry of Urban Development-nodal Ministry for NSA) ignores it completely at least in respect of cleanliness on the open parking area opposite blue line pillar no.133-136 below the Hotel Crowne Plaza on Delhi-Noida road despite longish emails with its VC,CE(HQ),CE(East)jurisdictional head whose engineering staff of Div.no.12 reply with false statements and refuse to see the ground reality on site and refuse for joint visit.
I hope new VCDDA takes cognizance of it suo moto and contacts me in location find.

Can we have the name and contact nos. of the NGO/Whatsapp group/Individuals based in Delhi/NCR who are with the ‘Banega Swatchh India’ abhiyaan by promoting composting of household & kitchen waste which is recycled into useful compost for our plants.
If I may know the source of economical ‘Composting Pots’ to be made use of at home.

If Swatch Bharat Abhiyan is to become successful we need to do first and foremost thing is to ban the use of plastic completely. And the production of plastic begs has to be stopped at source level not at end user level. The Govt therefore has to declare any such kind of business involving production of plastic carry bags as illegal.

Hello all
I m Neetu Rathore Shekhawat from Bhavnagar.Inspired by our PM I also started cleanliness drive in my city,Clean Bhavnagar, Green Bhavnagar.
I use to go for morning cycling in the city.I observed that all the empty grounds have become dumping ground for the public.Jawahar Maidan is largest ground of city.Public can be seen playing cricket at this ground with litter strewen all around.
I approached Collector Mr Harshad Patel, Municipal commissioner M R Kothari,BJP state president,Jeetu Vaghani.
In my next step I ll approach schools to spread awareness through children about their surroundings n importance of cleanliness.
