"Dirty kumars" to get Sanitation lesson

Super Kavita!! Amazing creative sense here :))

I would love to do this to the KUMARS'... :)

Wow, really nice issue here kavita, I really liked the  title of this Idea contest the Dirty Kumars, good one. Yes the only way we can bring this kind of civic sense is by embarrassing them, and some punishment of sorts, if not people don't budge for anything, and not only in delhi, we need to run this campaign all across the country, And make people aware regarding cleanliness.  Thanks for the referral, a really good one.

This is a very important subject and involves changing the attitude of the people in general. We have to take action in more than one direction. The major drawback is that our officials and politicians do not interact with people in a positive manner. For example, a Panchayat President can bring about a vast change in the attitude of the villagers, if he has enthusiasm and initiative.

Secondly, the government and local bodies should provide facilities. In the absence of facilities, how can we expect the people to behave differently? In western countries enough rest room facilities are available and the people easily make use of them. In India, even public places like Bus stand, Railway stations, Schools where people meet in large numbers do not have enough facilities. Once in a railway station, I looked for rest room. At the far end of the station, there was one; and it had not been maintained properly. After having walked for more than a furlong, I had to return urgently, actually running.

And after providing facilities, suitable rules should be framed and implemented. Stiff fines would go a long way to change the attitude of the people.

true. its the way of living where you do susu before going out , while thu-thu can be fined.

It has to be mix of both. If we go in to the past when Metro Train first started in Delhi, people were doing all kind of nonsense, but slowly they have learned. Public involvement along with government efforts was the primary reason for it.

I agree with u Shuili. Cleanliness has been taught from pre school days but till today no one follows it or they just ignore it. And this reason of creating awareness only bcoz the world is gonna come does not make sense. So once the games are over, Delhiites are free to do the same, is it? Same here in Mumbai, if being clean is only to show others it becomes the cleaning of skin only not of your inner self values.

I agree with what Shiuli has come up with, just tell them on to their face, no second thoughts about it, and please make the place look so clean that the person thinks more  than twice before indulging in a su-su or a thu-thu. And people should they themselves consciously not try to do these things, and later expect others to not do it.

In Chennai where ever there has been defacing of Wall by urine and spit,the wall is white washed

and images of god has done wonders,similar thing can be replicated else where.But instead of so much publicity on Aids  through media newspapers and govt.bodies similar missionary zeal has to be taken up and clippings of neat and clean hygienic cities may be shown,and award be created for best maintained cities,town or villages this can happen only by active participation by the public through govt.

Agreed Mr.Manish!!, People tend to do such activities where they find dirt or unclean enviroment. If there is good infrastructure even people feels themself shame before doing such things. As i thing i want to add is that gov must setup some mobile or handheld toilets etc which cost them small, as in china or other well established economies...

ALL THESE ARE THE EFFECT OF THE COMMON WEALTH GHOTALA................

Yes prathana, what you recommend is correct.Fines will work.

I consider prarthana's idea of fining those people. But before fining they we Should make sure that whether are there any public toilets near by the place.

Before imposing fine govt should provide people public toilets in the ares where people usually gather a lot.

Because of non availablility of thse basic thing su su kumars donig the mistaks they are not able to control and in mean time they dont have any option.
