what about "swach bharat abhiyan"...??
It was a very humble beginning by our PM on 2nd October to follow the footsteps of the father of the nation... but I guess we are done with it, at least, in our office. The hottest gossip topic in the office, these days, is the reduction in retirement age of central govt. employees, and it should be, especially for those at the very border line. Out-of-the-way, someone in the office, said "what about the swachh bharat abhiyan..."?? it was supposed to be a movement, a continuous effort and a torch bearer actually for a larger thing, i.e. to raise awareness about cleanliness of surroundings.
It has lost its very spark as I see, which is very disheartening, as it will make the situation worse than it was before. The line, very common with us that " kuch nahi ho skta is desh ka" ( nothing can improve this country) will only be proving itself. This not only fails this positive effort, but also creates a stronger negative environment to bully such efforts in future.
There was a resistance to this mission at the beginning, as always there is to any change(specially the positive ones). On the first day we started well, mainly because of the orders from home ministry, for compliance. All gathered at around 11 AM, and worked hard to clean the office premises. Men for the grounds and ladies cleaned the interior of the office building.
There was a pledge taken on that day to devote 2 hrs per week to the cleanliness of the surroundings, but it seems totally forgotten. It was planned to be there on 2nd ( as it was the day off at office) and 4th Saturday of each month to clean the surroundings. Three months have passed Saturdays came but not in that sense. We had to send the pictures before and after, of the area worked on, and it ended on the very same day it started. I guess, this happened mainly because there is no mandatory 'order' from ministry to follow up the mission.
I personally feel that this is a great gesture of our PM and a tool to invoke a spark in younger generation to keep our home, city, country and world, at large, cleaner. We all have a responsibility to keep it going... and I hope we will have a 2nd and 4th Saturday soon in our office too.
Thanks.. Cheers :)
