On Sunday, all the students

and the class teacher went

there. Everyone carried a
broom and a bucket. They

swept the road, collected the

garbage and put them in the

bin. They cleaned the drain

and put insecticides. They

also covered the dustbins.

In no time the entire colony

was clean. Everyone in the colony came out and saw the children’s efforts
and enthusiasm.

The teacher then talked about the importance of cleanliness to them. The

people of the colony felt ashamed and realised that is their duty to keep

their surroundings clean.

Some ways in which everyone can maintain cleanliness are as follows :

v Throw garbage at fixed places.

v Put garbage in a bin with lid.

v Do not throw garbage in open drains, parks or other public places.

v Avoid spitting in the open.

v Teaching the importance of cleanliness to someone.

v Get together to clean litter in the school/colony.

v Plant a sapling and take care of it.

v Be responsible towards your surroundings.
