Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in Right Perspective
Just putting labour for cleanliness of the city is not a permanent solution. Once you leave your hard work and effort, the cleanliness will go off. What is being done today, is the putting our beloved Leaders orders and suggestions into action. The initial efforts and tempo will die its own death as city's Design and its infrastructure is non-sustainable to be kept clean. So apart these initial efforts to keep city clean from today itself, a parallel THINK TANK group should be made which has to work with the Municipal Corporation to make the city Clean on Sustainable basis.
I give just one example: Unless we have clean urinals all over the city which are always clean, how can we stop people urinating on every pole. Where will the women go urinating.... the city will keep smelling in every corner.
This is common for all cities in India. Shri Salman Khan or our beloved PM Shri Shri Modi can initiate us and Shri Anil Gupta of kanpur can set an example , but Civil Engineers (rarely found now-a-days) have to come out with correct solutions. Urinals for that mater offered by Sulabh-Sauchalay is neither upto mark for today's standards of cleanliness nor safe for women's use.
Not just urinals, but many such human activities which make a city dirty has to be looked into and systems created by the THINK TANK and all these solutions have to be made sustainable. more

Dear Prakash ji, I absolutely agree with your concept of penalties, but for the capable persons, who is capable is to be measured, because in India many people cannot pay penalties. A good idea could be that, everyone of us could buy Pre-paid Penalty Tickets worth Rs 10/- (a book of say 50 leaves, issued on a discounted price of Rs 400/- each book) issued by a competent authority may be Home Guards where in we book tickets on some assigned mistake done by each other in the society. (Rules could be written on the Tickets). Say I break Red Light on the road, and you catch me and I have to pay you Rs 10/- Similarly you spit your pan on the road and I catch you and issue ticket to you. ( But then we have to provide working red lights, Spittoons etc) LETS EXPLORE. more

I agree , every ward in city must have citizens forum and should work with Nagar Sewak. Officers of Palika should be answerable to this Forum. more

Well put forward Mr Mishra...there are a lot of basics which need sorting for a mission to sustain. Governance in any form should be responsible, accountable and work with the citizens to achieve the requirements and not be another offshoot of the government and use it as a platform to drive autocracy. Some basics have to be taught to people, facilities provided and strict penalty with no scope for, I will emphasize on "no scope" of corruption while penalising them should be implemented (on the lines of Singapore model). And above all we need to individually enforce them to whatever extent possible, via friends, relatives, colleagues. It has to be relayed very effectively without sitting down and cribbing over what cannot happen or how the system is. more

@Hemanth-ji: No Pay- Free could be an idea, with a Donation box... who is ABLE, could pay Rs 10 or Rs 50 others may not pay dime. After all, we have no hitch donating the similar amounts in religious establishment, why not these places of public-convenience. But the cleanliness should be such that anybody could use, be it rural labour or person used to 5 star facilities. more

Many people do not prefer sulabh complex as they have to pay rs 1 or 2. It may not be true in case of city dwellers. But it is 200% rt in case of ppl who migrate to cities for daily labor etc. We have to sort out this issue first. Wts the say... more
