To realise Gandhiji’s dream of a Clean India, Hon’ble
Prime Minister had launched the Swachh Bharat Mission on 2nd October, 2014
as a mass movement. Both the Departments under M/o Communications i.e.,
D/o Telecommunications and D/o Posts have been fully conscious in this regard
by paying round the year attention to ensure swachhta. The fortnight
provided an opportunity to review the ongoing efforts and undertake cleanliness
activities in accordance with a pre-determined action plan in the Ministry of
Communications. Due attention was paid to observe swachhta campaign in the
Department, PSUs and other organisations, field offices and community areas
including school, roads and other places. Sensitizing the school children has
been a key initiative. The Ministries proposes to endeavour in the future also
to expand the reach and depth of swachhta for ensuring cleaner offices, safe
drinking water and cleaner and greener public areas. In this way the commitment
of swachhta will not be restricted to pakhwada period only.
Department of Telecommunications through its Telecom Service
providers like BSNL, MTNL, Vodafone Idea Ltd, and Reliance Jio sent out
messages, to the citizens to promote the cause of swachhta. The
Department is also implementing Swachhta Action Plan (SAP) in its PSUs.
As part of SAP, key activities were identified in advance for focused action
and attention. These include, to name a few, construction and renovation of
toilets by BSNL; community mobilisation; installing dustbins for public and
cleaning common parking areas by TCIL; renovation of labour canteen and driver
rooms by C-DoT and other cleanliness activities at various locations.
The Department of Posts, on this
occasion, in addition to intensive cleaning of Post offices, postal colonies
and Administrative Offices, also declared 318 post offices as plastic free. In
addition to this, the census of trees has been completed in 847 post offices
& postal colonies and the remaining is underway. During this fortnight,
about 3 lakh postmen and GraminDakSevaks of the Department were declared as
"Ambassadors of cleanliness". As “SwachhtaDoots” they have spread the
message of cleanliness, zero tolerance to open defecation and use of plastic
among the masses. It was only because of tireless efforts of these ‘Ambassadors
of cleanliness' that this campaign could reach the far-flung areas of the
country. A total of 355 workshops on “Swachhta se Swasthaya” was organized.
A total of five thousand students participated in Essay writing
competitions. Three top performing circles namely Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu
and Kerala were objectively quantified based on swachhta parameters and
outreach activity & awarded Ist, IInd & IIIrd prizes for outstanding
cleanliness efforts & spreading the message of swachhta to the masses in
the spirit of ‘Swachhta is Everyone’s Business’.
Ministry of Communications will continue to work tirelessly even
beyond Pakhwada to realize the dream of Swachh Bharat.
