The Jashpur district administration has devised an innovative method of highlighting the message of cleanliness in villages through colourful and interesting cartoons from comic books.
Following the guidance of District Collector Priyanka Shukla, the comic book was published by district panchayat under Clean India Mission.
As per information received, the comic book was released by Food and Civil Supply Minister Punnulal Mohle during lok Suraj Abhiyan in Pathalgaon recently.
Meanwhile, Mohle praised the administration for initiating innovative move for making people aware about cleanliness.
“Possibly, this would be the first comic book in the State for creating awareness about cleanliness. The comic book will soon be dispatched to all panchayats and public literacy centers,” said Shukla, adding that through this book, a move has been initiated to make people aware about cleanliness, disseminate the importance of toilet construction and its regular use.
With 27 interesting pictures, the administration has attempted to spread messages pertaining to cleanliness which include use of toilet to prevent illness, use of toilets lower the chances of being attacked by snakes and other poisonous insects, protection of water bodies and others.
