JUIT: Swatch Bharat Abhiyan launched

Solan, Feb 27 : “At Jaypee University of Information Technology, Waknaghat, Swatch Bharat Abhiyan was launched under the guidance of CTO Dr. Amit Jakhar and Lt. Pragya Gupta.
During this, all the cadets of the NCC unit involved in the campaign were guided towards the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan and all participated in the cleanliness program by taking the oath of cleanliness.
The cleanliness drive began at 7AM with the energetic group of these young cadets dividing into two parts to clean the maximum possible area and avoid congestion on the roads. The subgroups then took two different routes to Waknaghat, 3 km from the campus.

During this the cadets learned that it is ultimately their responsibility to keep the city clean. The cleanliness drive also turned into a wonderful nature walk.
We also have many examples in our progressive urban habitats where we will come across incidents where households throw their own household waste in public place. The cadets agreed that unless the attitude and mindset of the people change, no campaign can make India clean. The success of the mission will largely depend on how we are able to bring about changes in our attitudes and behaviour.
Creating awareness and the need for change is imperative. Awareness has to be converted into public participation and actions.”
