Every human aspires for a healthy and happy life.

But very few work


for body-mind-soul coordination. A happy and healthy mind always
performs better and enriches the society.

Inculcating such habits as health, personal hygiene and positive


attitude in the youth will certainly improve the quality of our
environment. The philosophy of the father of the nation, Mahatama
Gandhi is based on cleanliness and related personal hygiene which
says that spiritual and religious development of a man hinges upon
the cleanliness. He had even said that ‘Sanitation is more important
than independence’.

Some measure to suggest for SWACHH BHARAT-SWASTH BHARAT


1. Make the country Open-Defecation Free (ODF). Construction of
toilets in every tenement is a sine qua non.

longway in regard to our pristine and pure environment.
Outreach programmes may be conducted under the auspices of
NSS,NCC, Boy and girl scouts, NGOs.

wastages.

forestry with more community involvement.

pooling for transportation needs.

10. Following the 4-R principle. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-
Replenish.
11. Rainwater harvesting, watershed programmes for
conservation of water and to increase water table around the
community.
12. Awareness for mental and physical health. Yoga as a
vehicle of national health. Meditation as means for mental
prowess.
