We stand proud to submit that we are working on swatch bharat abhiyan by adopting a counterpart by name of Swatch Sector Saturday Abhiyan, our sector (sector 46) is the biggest sector of Gurgaon with more than 3500 plots. When the current team was appointed in RWA we were already disgusted by cleanliness problem in our sector.
For countering this we initiated the Swatch Sector Saturday Mission on 28th November 2015 and from that day without any interruption we wake up early on our Saturdays and are joined by hundreds of residents who join the stride to clean our sector.
we felt discouraged when Authorities failed us to provide any kind of help whatsoever, still for achieving the bigger dream of our dear PM Narendra Modi ji and for our selfish(selfish enough for a cleaner India) selves we never stopped the mission and continued from the said date.
in the mission we learnt that mission or initiatives of this type are contagious from the time we started many RWAs and nearby sectors started following the drive. we feel grateful to our dear pm for showing us the path on which we walk proud.
Our Advice to all - Clean Your very near surroundings if everybody does so then only the mission will be achieved.
Swacchta is not the mission of only governments. It is a mission of all of us.

We read news about the Deonar dumping ground fire in 2016. The subsequent stories of health issues that the locals faced compelled us to think of ways to deal with the grave issue of piling waste in the city. That's when Marathon Realty Ltd (Real estate developers) who also happens to be a member of CREDAI Clean City Movement (CCCM) adopted the Bio bin system for treating organic kitchen waste in one of its own building named Marathon Onyx. The system uses microbes to convert the waste into compost. This is a very modern,highly effective and quick method of composting green waste. We have successfully composted 5,500 kgs of green waste in the past one year. The resulting compost is nutrient rich and is used for landscaping purposes within the premises.
We conducted an awareness program in the society where we educated the residents to segregate the waste using the three bin system. We have recycled more than 1000 kgs of dry waste till date. The efforts, enthusiasm and support of the residents is commendable.
As a responsible citizen of the country,we would like to spread awareness about this initiative through your channel.

I have adopted a blackspot nearby my house. Garbage gets continuously dumped here on this piece of footpath making people to walk on the road. Apart from pedestrian safety, it is also health hazard breeding mosquito's which could spread dengue. I adopt the use of a tarpaulin sheet to separate the footpath from the road, so that the dumping does not encroach the footpath and people can use the footpath safely. The footpath leads to a playing ground and hence a lot of children and senior citizens use it.
The footpath is hence very critical and cannot be neglected. The tarpaulin separation is self funded and I make sure that I maintain it so that the pedestrians get there space and health hazard is avoided. Today it was the 6th time I mended it with the help of our security watchman Pushkar. We are proud of our efforts. Photo attached shows our cleanliness campaign done today.

Taking the cue and the legacy of a clean society forward, we, Joy and Ankit started Ad My Bin, a social venture to clean and spread cleanliness across by installing adbins for waste disposal.
At Admybin we not only address the problem of littering but we create the infrastructure of visible and accessible bins all over the nation we also take responsibility of the management and clearance of the bins. We generate employment for currently unorganized ragpicker community at the same time and our aim is to segregate waste for gradually reducing it to zero.
AdMyBin installs Waste Bins with stands that have advertising spaces.
The National Clean India mission has created great awareness among people but due to lack of adequate usable dustbins problem of littering on street is not solved. Usually we associate bins with a dirty container but for us at Ad My Bin, we ensure that bins have an artistic implication with a bright sunny and blue dash of colour where you can advertise your company and reach out to people and also promote social awareness towards cleanliness as a responsible citizen.
We have created a self-sustainable model wherein the dustbins will act as an advertising mode just like a pole kiosk or advertisement hoarding. Our Business model includes the CSR activities of corporates and outdoor advertising needs of brands to get visibility as well as a enhancing the brand image as a socially responsible business.
What makes us different is that apart from the installation we take care of the maintenance of the bins as well. We employ ragpickers for every 30 bins which we install on streets.
Ad My Bin currently has more than 200 installations across different complexes, roads, schools, colleges and parks in Kolkata and further looking for expansion on metro, railways and everywhere in country where bins are required.
We have branded for more than 20 clients across sectors including banks, hotel chains, film production houses, online supermarkets, textile houses, healthcare, travel, online learning portals among others.
We are developing a Smart Bin, in which we would be able to track the waste level inside the bin, along with the count of people crossing the adbins. The pilot testing for this is done and will launch this very soon.
Also we are developing a WiFi Bin which would be a app based reward program for public at large. The technology will make our Adbins the Gateway to FREE Wifi access.
In pipeline we have Jaipur and Guwahati for expansion along with high coverage in Kolkata.

Last two years, I regularly make composting of my kitchen waste strict process.I had also prepared one cage box for composting garden waste. There by I have reduced waste generation by 90 %. Only packing material of plastic which are not degradable goes to Ghantagadi i.e. waste collecting vehicle of Municipal corporation. By using, I can use this compost to flourish my own garden. I do not need to purchase any type of fertiliser and soil of any kind.

Two bins One bag - What is the story here?
Two bins One bag sums up the aspirations, research, efforts and dreams of a whole lot of committed citizens working over years to find a solution to our overwhelming garbage problem.
Segregation at source is the only way to remedy this and here is where two bins and a bag comes into picture. The ease of the formula and the way it instantly cuts down on plastic bags and the need for landfills to accommodate them has made it a resounding success. The colour coded system makes it uniform and effortless to follow. Following the best practices listed, this can be rolled out anywhere in a very short time.
From a small citizen initiative, it has grown into a movement encompassing the whole city and now country. Swachh Bharat can really be achieved only when each one of us takes charge of the waste we generate. Be a part of the dream to transform our country!

"Clean Paonta Green Paonta is an initiative to keep this small industrial town pollution free. Started by a senior citizen Mr. Rajendra Tewari, the idea was to inject this thought in young minds. The uniqueness of this mission cleanup is that young children have taken the cause in their own hands. The town Paonta is situated at the banks on Yamuna River and it becomes all the more important to take care of the pollution of all kinds.
Core group that included SDM H.S. Rana and Mr. Tewari himself, started to speak in schools. Soon the initiative became a mission and school children were motivated to monitor the waste management at their home. Today around 35000 children are part of it and they operate in groups and every group has a name. As an initiative they visit shops and business establishments to inspect, inquire and motivate the respective shopkeepers to handle their waste carefully. They keep a record and also sees the cleanliness around the shops, give there feedback and submit it to the group. This whole program has a remarkable impact on the society. Their effort is bearing fruit and this door to door cleanliness drive is making the city cleaner and healthier.
Clean Paonta Green Paonta no longer stayed a slogan. It has made inroads into the conscience of people at the grass root level. The holy city of Paonta sahib deserved this campaign because as they say 'the love for God is the love to protect the environment'. Cleanliness is a spiritual experience as well. The film is an initiative to support this awareness program."

"Delhi is reeling under the menace of poster mafia. Almost any entity posts a flood of posters on any public wall available. This is a subway near Dabri Mor Flyover in Delhi, which was covered under a layer of such posters by a coaching institute. Although they assured us to help in our cleanliness drive but it turned out to be false. But that's ok. Our team was high on enthusiasm and removed those posters. We also painted the wall back to yellow and black stripes. And it has a significance. This subway is at a turn and these stripes are an indication of alert. This spot also sustains to date!"

"I am writing to you as I would like to use your platform to share our story which is a small step in the Swachh Bharat campaign that our country is spearheading. We are the Naval Wives Welfare Association(NWWA), an organisation that brings together all the wives of the navy defence personnel, spread out all over the country and aim to help the naval community and all the lives our community touches, in day to day lives. I am writing to you as the ex-President of the Vishakhapatnam chapter of NWWA, and wife of the chairman of the school. We constructed state-of-the-art toilets for girls in our Naval Children School (NCS) in Visakhapatnam as a pilot project. Constructing these toilets was but a small part of our project. Our major focus was teaching toilet etiquettes and imbibing healthy toilet manners/habits amongst the students. This is why we believe our story is worth sharing, because by investing in teaching students and children, we are endeavouring to bring healthy toilet habits in homes and families, ensuring swachh bharat is a sustainable vision. Just to give you a brief overview of the project, we addressed clean toilets from four aspect
1. Quality construction - easily maintainable materials, with adequate water depending on the number of users, proper slopes and drainage and other technical requirements.
2. User training - conducting workshops , streaming of continuous video tutorials in toilets, group talks etc.
3. Training the cleaners - conducting workshops, followed by monthly refreshers on how to clean, what cleaning agents to use and a daily, weekly, monthly, six monthly cleaning schedule.
4. Providing equipment and tools to users and cleaners - we provide students with tissue paper, liquid soap, running water, back-up stored water incase of emergency , mops, sanitary napkin dispenser and sanitary napkin incinerators at ₹2 per day charged monthly.
We also provide the cleaners adequate equipment, personal clothing, and required cleaning agents to maintain clean toilets. Our project has been up and running for 6 months. We now intend to implement the same in our naval school in Port Blair. We would be glad to share our story with others, and hope your platform with its reach and impact gives us this opportunity."

"Guru Nanak College (GNC) has formally adopted the Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar (GTB), a Mumbai suburban railway station on 2nd October, 2015. Students of GNC clean and maintain GTB station. Last year in 2015 the college had organized 9 days Chaka Chak GTB station Mahotsav from 10th October to 19th October, 2015. Students first cleaned the station and later painted the wall of bridges with slogans, moral principles and so on to beautify the wall. Along with this number of programmes were organised. Awareness about HIV, Health, Malaria, Fitness, Women's Rights, Senior Citizens' and Human Rights, Environment conservation, were created through banners, street plays and surveys. Brochures were also distributed and a wall painting drive was also conducted to beautify the platform. We had also organised laughter yoga sessions and a musical program on two days during the Mahotsav. But many people still didn't change their nature and behavior, they continued to spit on the beautified wall. They still don't realise, they aren't spitting on the wall, they are spitting on the faces of students - their efforts of day and night. But we students of GNC haven't lost hope, we are giving them a tough fight. We have again beautified the dirty wall. We are glad to see many daily commuters are appreciating us and some commuters are so generous that they are contributing in our activity by painting the station with us. It really feels great. The Chala Chak GTB will be conducted this year too."

"We in Ginger society, Pimple Saudagar, Pune implemented dry and wet waste management - 2 Bin 1 Bag system. We have total of 350 flats including 20 houses. We, a team of six volunteers, have done a door-door campaign on waste segregation. We have distributed waste segregation guidelines to each and every home. I myself has composed near to 100kg of kitchen waste in my home with pot system. Happy to inform that residents responded very well. Next step is to implement in society level composting. Now neighbor society has called us for our suggestions in implementing the same. Need some more guidance on society level composting."

"Since 2010 IGS has been working with a number of Municipal Councils, Municipal Corporation and Resident Welfare Associations on solid waste management under this project IGS established micro-composting sites to process organic waste into compost and recycle from dry waste. The solid waste infrastructure is upgraded and door to door collection of waste is being done. The collected waste is then transported to trenching ground, located where segregation of waste is being done. The segregated waste is then processed in the compost unit to convert it into manure and solid waste is then processed into recyclable briquettes (gatta)."

"Dear NDTV, I am an Airforce veteran - a Wing Commander, who is presently working for a private airline as Captain on Boeing 737 aircraft. I am part of a group in Pune dedicated to this cause. A group of professionals from various fields have got together to take this campaign to every public place in the city. A Facebook page dedicated to the cause Swachh Pune - Swachh Bharat can provide you with most extensive account of work undertaken ever since it started in Pune on 05 Oct 2014. Every Sunday, means every Sunday, two to three hours devoted to the cause. This initiative by and large is one unique group of its kind, which has not had a single Sunday break, except once due to torrential rains. A campaign started by just seven individuals is now being followed by many groups trying to bring a change in the way Pune looks."

"It is regarding a Campaign to bring behavioral changes in people on littering and spitting. It's been more than one year now and we ask,"Have you participated in Swachh Bharat yet?" I am sure the answer would be No from many people because thoughts on Swachh Bharat(Clean India) is restricted to picking up a broom and cleaning roads. We have initiated a campaign to bring Behavioral Changes in people so that their every conscious action gives them a feeling that it is their contribution in ensuring cleanliness. We have taken initiative to spread awareness on Car Litter and bring 40% reduction in Garbage on roads. Thus, hitting the root cause. Even our toilet has a trash bin but what about our Car? A strong need is there to install trash bin in cars. Also, we can never ban Paan from India. Does that mean there is no solution to Paan spit? I work in a travel technology firm and it is part of my job to travel abroad. I observed that the basic habits that we take due care of while in another country, we ignore the same in our own country and then we crib. Let's behave in our own Country the way we behave in any other foreign country. Few initiatives taken in the past could not bear results as the motive was to insult people(e.g. Sharam ka Taj by Aamir Khan) but we want to encourage people and bring behavioral changes in people by providing them with solutions and alternatives so that when they use it they feel it is their contribution to Swachh Bharat Campaign. Thus a feeling of empowerment too, in ensuring cleanliness around. It would be great if we could collaborate and initiate a positive campaign generate a need in people to have trash bin installed in their car and also encourage them to spit in the right place."

"We run Sagarmitra campaign in school and community, not only cleaning but also take care of the waste by sending it for recycling. School children collect plastic entering their homes, keep it clean and dry. They collect it for one month and once a month get it to their school and kabadiwala buy it from them. Now we have more than one lakh students in Pune and three thousand students in Kota."

"The concept of Little Doctor is to motivate the students for the promotion of the hygiene and sanitation practices by providing hygiene cum medical kit in tribal schools. They are provided with an authority of collecting Rs 1 from the students of the school and with it they purchase the soap, and other maintenance materials of the kit. They are selected on rotation basis. The students who portray good role as Little Doctor, are awarded separately. It motivates the students for the promotion of the sanitation cleanliness within the school and outside as well. The Little Doctor attends the Gram Panchayat meetings and ensures the hygiene and sanitation of the village as pressure groups. They also go door to door for counselling of the people to stop open defecation, hygiene promotion and hand wash practices. This concept was appreciated abroad and replicated. This contributed to achieve Nirmal Gram Award by the President of India for the state."

"In ISKCON cleanliness - internal and external - is stressed equally. To this effect, apart from cleaning the temples twice daily we also actively work with the local community stakeholders to keep the community clean and pleasant. Apart from the regular clean up, devotees of ISKCON - young, old, men, women, all come together regularly to clean important places of pilgrimage such as Vrindavan, Mayapur, Pandarpur, Puri, among the others. Our saints and scriptures have taught us that by these cleaning one not only purifies the external surroundings but also simultaneously cleans his internal consciousness as well. That's the reason devotees of ISKCON, from India and abroad, regularly come together to clean these places. Recently, the students of our school in Vrindavan themselves came up with a desire to go early in the morning to the banks of the sacred Yamuna and clean it before the pilgrims start coming by. They wanted these pilgrims to have a peaceful and pleasant experience. Their sincerity touched the passer by who also joined in spontaneously."

"As an inspiration towards Swachh Bharat, we have invented a new technology called Green Waste Reprocessor which reprocesses all Organic Waste (green, food/vegetable and temple waste) and convert it into organic compost and fuel sticks. Organic compost can be used in farming and fuel sticks are an alternative to LPG Cylinders and are smokeless therefore reducing pollution. We have it currently installed at Central Ordnance Depot, Delhi Cantonment Area and in Rose Garden, Faridabad converting 1.5 ton of waste every day."

"Jaigopal Garodia Govt. Girls' Higher Secondary School in Virugambakkam, is the second biggest school among the Government schools in Chennai. The School takes pride in associating with Swatchh India campaign and it is known for its clean, green and very pleasing ambience. This transformation has happened because of the Swatchh Vidyalaya campaign taken by the school with lot of interest and involvement. As the students are agents of change, they are motivated not to litter the school campus, keep the class rooms clean and tidy, maintain personal hygiene and take home the message to their surroundings. The teachers are role models to them. Because of the good co-operation and co-ordination among the students, teachers, the headmistress and the community, the school is known as one of the cleanest schools of Chennai. We pledge to continue our efforts to make India Swatchh India. Together we can."

Today, I had a wonderful experience. Normally, I do Swacch Bharath in the morning. Since I had gone out in the morning, I could do Swacch Bharath work only in the evening. I was doing the cleaning work, an engineering student came behind me and asked, ” Uncle, I am seeing you for the last one month. You are cleaning these pillars. Can I help you?”. On enquiry he had told that he had completed his engineering degree and attending some classes at Hyderabad.
I said, “Thanks a lot. I am doing a Swacch Bharath seva. Please dont spoil your shirt. Since, you had come from classes, you must be tired”. He smiled and said, “Uncle, I will help you at least tomorrow morning.”. I thanked him for offering help. I could get one friend because of Swacch Bharath activity. Every day my experience is so unique and worth remembering and cherish it.
