Swachh Bharat Integration into School Education
Dear all:
Based on your inputs in early 2015, we have taken several actions to integrate Swachh Bharat into school education. The results have been evident in the Swachh Bharat 1 year survey where many of you outlined that children are more aware now about cleanliness and civiic sense basics.
Below are the inputs you had shared with us and some are yet to be actioned. Kindly review them and based on what you have experienced, if there are any additional new ideas or inputs to implement these effectively, please share them.
We look forward to your inputs!

I don't understand why visually or physically impaired children should be exempt. They should be treated as normal as far as possible in all respects. more

The morning prayer should include the Oath for the day. CCTV should made use of mending the children committing nuisance in the school premises and get feed back from parents of their behavior at home. At no circumstance the children below the age of 10 should be brought out to take part in the campaign by the school authorities. more

Introducing clean India mission in the school is very excellent idea that L.C. members gave long ago. Inculcating the cleanliness and the need to keep their area, wherever it is, in the minds of children will go a long way and give positive results. The school children should once in 15 days should go out of school to various places where people do not know how to keep the area clean, and teach them. Every Schools should introduce Y.S.S.Tean (Youth Social Service Team) and they must be trained to keep the areas within the class room, within the school compound, and also in the area /roads outside the school premises more

There should not be any exemption to any school except visually impaired and physically disabled children's schools. The school children must also be encouraged to plant trees, conservation of water , personal hygiene, following "Q" system while boarding and getting down the school bus, helping small children to board or getting down the bus,etc. since it is easy to taught them and see its follow up. Definitely the children will make elders to follow rules. more
