Clean INDIA--------will you contribute?

yeah i do agree with you and we should be carefull about it as it`s about our country. Do we keep our home dirty? no i don`t think so anyone do it then why your city, your conntry ?

Every small step if taken up by every Indian sincerely will definitely help the country to remain clean. I request Yogendra to generate ideas for cleaning of public places as well as tourist places.

I guess..in India every thing is taken for granted...that its someone else's job to do the cleaning up...but i guess we should fine people who litter around and make them understand that it is our own country and we are the ones who need to keep it neat and clean, no body else is not going to come and do it for you...in many companies they put God's picture on the steps so that people don't spit, when i saw that i was so ashamed that we dont even care of the one we pray to..we even spit on his picture.....I guess the Govt. should pass a law for littering and spreading garbage.....I hope people of the Country will improve their habits and help make this country neat and clean...

Dayanand has a very good point here,every person should play his part.And yes,I WILL TOO.

Thanks Yogendra for referring. This is the need of the hour and you said it correctly. But we, the indian citizens in a whole irrespective of urban or rural should feel the responsibility. One sentence from the speech of our former president Mr. Kalam 2-3 years back gone through the mind when I saw this topic. How many of the Indians dare to spit or throw the waste in public road when they travel in middle east or singapore. They can follow the rules there, but here all are blaming on Govt: for even for minor issues.

Good topic!! and great arguments...

But i just want to conclude that Govt. will take initiative and ban for every Indians to throw rubbish on roads or anywhere except rubbish bin placed by state Govt. else Govt. will charge penalty in terms of money. And then we can make new debate that "Who will provide information to stop illegal" or "Who will help Govt to stop rubbish". 

Because independently we Indian are not able to take initiative to stop rubbish on roads yeah i am also including in India.................

Every sane person shall dispose the garbage only at proper place no matter he/she is using a car or a bicycle.

Question is how to make everybody sane???

Thanks Mr Chauhan for the referral.

A couple of years back while having a talk about social reforms and the responsibility of an individual in contribution towards it - I came across this phrase "Make Yourself a Good man and there is one less rascal in the world". That is what i learned to practice and it works fine for me and sometimes when i see people follow me i am proud achiever. Whether it is discarding rubbish in a train, bus or my own vehicle i always carry it to the nearest dustbin to dispose it. I cant change the world atleast "I" can change myself not to blame the world for not doing so...

The real India is we- its people and the main reason for its uncleanliness is also because of we-the people. When we keep our surrounding clean, the area also remains clean. When we make it dirty, the area becomes dirty and the combination of many area becomes a country. So, it is on us to keep our country clean or dirty.

Hi all,

I am sure you might have seen the heaps of plastics piled up especially close to the railway stations, this nostalgia prompts one to think ARE WE INCLINED IN GIVING OUR CHILDREN A WHOLE OF PLASTIC. Others follow or not is not on the cards, but let me atleast. Thanks for posting Yoggendra.

Siva

A lot of us do this from a long time.taking the garbage on the way to office and dumping it in the corporation dust bins.

Only thing is most of them go till the garbage bin and then MISS the contribution-they try to throw it from a safe distance and end up throwing outside the dust bin thereby creating a nuisance for the residents nearby.

Thats something we all need to avoid doing. just in case I have readers who have done /doing this please think about it and contribute to clean india 100%

Idea along with Policy support with Penal Charges for littering will help.

India can do it, Crisis brings the best of us like what Mr.Rao had done for Surat during Plague.

This is very easy. If every person in India tries to keep his surrounding clean. Then the whole India will become clean automatically.........

"YES" I WILL .... 

Yes , I always try to adopt this in my daily life. whenever i go out with friends. i take care of that i will not be a part of those people who use to throw anything in open. So i believe we can practise this habit in our life very easily. if we remember "when we love to see our houses neat and clean than why dont we take care our country or Cities as well"

Sorry guys I cannot help you even if I wanted to to. However, it is every citizen's right in every country to assist in keeping it clean.

I am for it!!

hi,i am doing the same from last few years and will continue.

Yes.. I actually do that..

Hi yogendra its a good thought, but its a matter of awareness among socities too, if you see in Mumbai apart from some areas its in real bad condition and become worse in monsoon season, nothing to mention here about the slum areas. So if it is happening in Mumbai we can understand how serious the matter would be. But its a good idea and every citizen should follow it.

I will go for it.

Yes Yogendra ji , we should all practice this.... MOst of us are  doing this. But even a minority's  attitude can bring worst results............Unfortunately our political set up also fails to support  such disciplines . They/we make some slogans like GREEN CITY CLEAN CITY , GOODBYE MOSQUITOES and put big banners all over the city . It  sounds like all mosquitoes will go and die after seeing this banners.

For implementing these concepts , what we require is a thorough practice in the root level .ie at home and schools ,then to residential groups   .

Everyday we try to do that, but the next day the other person might have thrown the garbage. Most of the people do not follow, we have to force them or else the government should look into this.

Dear Friend,

Here is no case for any argument. Everybody would agree with you that there is a specific need for cleaning India and that each one of us should do our mite towards this objective.

Even those who are not in the habit of cleaning their own rooms, would theoretically agree with what you have said.

This is like the story of a king who placed a big vessel in front of his palace and asked all the courtiers to pour one glass of milk in it before the sunrise. Each courtier poured a glass of water, thinking that when all others were pouring milk, his action would not be detected. Next day, the vessel was full of water!

This is a question of changing the attitude of majority of the people. A bit of disciplining is also involved. With the type of political set up we have in India, all these are next to impossible.

If you want an argument, there should be possibility for two answers.

yeah ..this is a very good idea..it can not clean this whole country but can support to keep clean cities..or can inspire very well to others.

I have being doing it all my life and still continue doing it. One should form a part of habit towards it and then it isn;t that difficult!

Every Indian should and must do it for their own sake to start with and for the nation, which can defintely lead to much CLEANER INDIA

Thanks for posting this thoughtful post. Cheers! Lets do it......

It will be a good start..... let people follow it though... and can we do some marketing around it...

Thanks for posting this to me. After having lived in the US for close to five years when I got back I got the same feeling you get. This is more of the governments responsibility rather a Citizen's.

It is an Economic problem. A problem of lack of efficient environoment or Paretto efficient environment. So if the government is not willing to address this problem on a long term basis then the Citizens efforts will only be temporary and the country will start getting littered the next day everybody gets out to clean. Abroad they keep a Dustbin every 25 feet and they have scientific garbage disposal programs even recycling. It looks like our country hasn't been dusted or cleaned for the past 50 years with everything acumulating everywehre and people has to live with slopy way of ours.

If we can carry a small rubbish bin in our car and try to avoid throwing anything (wrappers/cans/cig./pouches/left out food/papers etc.) out of the moving/parked cars..........put all these things in rubbish bin in your car and finally dispose at proper place.....I think this can motivate others and this habit can be extended to home/office/public places..........
