Promoting Cleanliness and Citizen Participation
Addressing participants, Shri R.K. Pattanayak emphasized that cleanliness is a shared responsibility and urged officers to dedicate time to maintaining their surroundings. He encouraged them to motivate friends, neighbors, and colleagues to join the movement, creating a culture of cleanliness and health awareness beyond the workplace.
This initiative aligns with the broader objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission, which focuses on improving public hygiene through active citizen engagement. By organizing such drives, government departments are demonstrating leadership in fostering sustainable sanitation practices and inspiring collective action across communities.
Special Campaign 5.0 – A Step Towards Cleaner Workspaces
Special Campaign 5.0, under which this cleanliness drive was conducted, encourages regular cleaning of offices, public areas, and surrounding premises. The Legislative Department’s drive at Shastri Bhawan is part of a series of coordinated activities aimed at reinforcing cleanliness norms and instilling a sense of civic responsibility among staff and visitors.
By integrating staff participation with dedicated guidance from senior officials, the campaign ensures that cleanliness is not just a routine task but a shared value. The initiative also serves as a model for other government offices to follow, contributing to India’s vision of a healthier and cleaner nation.
