NMDC limited is observing the ‘Swachchhta Pakhwada’ from June 16 to 30 in all its production projects with synergy and enthusiasm in promoting Cleaner India and Greener India being the motto of ‘Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan’.
The objective of the ‘Pakhwada’ is to create awareness among the employees and their family members to keep their surroundings clean. During the initiative, several programmes and competitions were organised in townships, nearby villages apart from site offices, highlighting importance of cleanliness, a NMDC press release informed here.
During the fortnight “Mass Cleaning Campaigns” were organised through “Shramdaan” in which project employees along with their family members, Union office bearers, residents of Project Township, and shop keepers/service providers have participated with zeal.
NMDC has been actively implementing Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan with proper long term plan. Under Swachchh Bharat Mission, 2,089 toilets have been constructed by NMDC in the schools of six districts of Chhattisgarh and Panna District of Madhya Pradesh. Apart from the construction of toilets in schools, NMDC has been organising cleanliness campaigns for the past two years in 16 villages in the surroundings of its production projects. An impact study of the campaigns by an independent agency is also being organised so as to know the effect of the campaigns.
