IMPORTANCE
The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a nationwide campaign aimed at promoting cleanliness,
hygiene, and environmental awareness across India. The importance of this mission cannot
5
be overstated, as it addresses not only sanitation but also the health and well-being of
communities, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas like Khaprabatti.
Here’s how it impacts school environments and why it’s essential:
1. Promotes Hygiene and Health:
Cleanliness in schools reduces the risk of illnesses like infections, diarrhoea, and respiratory
problems, which are common in unsanitary conditions. By encouraging students to keep
their surroundings clean, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan directly contributes to a healthier school
environment and reduces absenteeism.
2. Develops Good Habits Early:
When cleanliness practices are taught and encouraged in schools, students learn the value
of hygiene from a young age. Habits formed during childhood tend to last a lifetime, making
them responsible and aware citizens who will carry forward the values of cleanliness into
adulthood.
3. Creates Awareness and Responsibility:
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan activities help students understand their role in maintaining a clean
environment. They become more conscious of littering, waste management, and conserving
resources. This sense of responsibility often extends to their homes and communities,
creating a broader impact.
4. Encourages Environmental Awareness:
Through initiatives like tree plantation, waste segregation, and plastic-free campaigns,
students learn about environmental conservation. This connection with nature builds an
understanding of sustainable practices and the need to protect our planet.
5. Enhances School Atmosphere:
A clean school is more welcoming and comfortable, creating a positive learning
environment. Clean classrooms, washrooms, and playgrounds allow students to focus on
6
learning without distractions from an unkempt environment, which can impact their
performance and well-being.
6. Promotes Social Values:
Cleanliness is linked to values like discipline, respect, and teamwork. When students work
together in cleanliness drives or rallies, they learn cooperation, leadership, and respect for
public spaces. These values play an essential role in their personal and social development.
7. Supports National Mission and Patriotism:
By participating in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, students contribute to a national movement
that aims for a cleaner and healthier India. This involvement builds a sense of patriotism
and pride in their country, motivating them to contribute positively to society.
