Cleanliness Speech – 4
"Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal sir, sir, madam and my dear friends. At this event, I would like to speech on cleanliness. I am very thankful to my class teacher that she has selected me to speech on cleanliness at this event. It is the serious topic and needs high level social awareness. People in the developed countries (Western Europe and North America) never depend on the authorities sweeping as they never dirt their roads or surrounding areas. They do themselves on daily basis. We too have to take such effective steps to clean our country. We should not wait any authority sweeper that he/she will pick up the broom and clean our surrounding areas and roads.
First we should not make public places dirty and if it happens, we have to clean it as only we are responsible. This responsibility needs to be understood by every Indian citizen. There is need to change our mentality as only this can keep India clean. Lots of cleaning resources and measures cannot be effective enough to keep India clean until we change our mind that whole country is like our home and we need to keep it clean. It is our property, not other’s. We need to understand that, a country is like a home in which various family members live in joint family.
As we suppose that, things inside the home are our own property and we never make them dirty and spoil. In the same way, we need to suppose that, everything outside the home is also our own property and we should never make them dirty and keep clean. We can change the drastic situation of our country through collective ownership. Instead of infrastructure improvements, effective plants for wastes treatment from industries, agriculture, and other fields, laws and rules by government, etc; we need to think and consider our own responsibility using our own mind and effort. It is not the responsibility of government only; it is the collective responsibility of each and every Indian citizen.
It is true that we cannot clean the whole country in a day or year, however; it will be our big hand if we stop making filthy the public places in India. It is our responsibility to stop ourselves as well as others who are making India’s public property filthy. As we generally see in our family that, every member has some particular responsibility (someone for sweeping, someone for cleaning, someone for bringing vegetables, someone for outside works, etc) and he/she has to do that timely in anyway. Just like that, if all the Indians take responsibility (of cleanliness and prevent from getting dirty) for small space in the surrounding areas, I think that, the day is not so far when we will see cleanliness everywhere all through the country.
Before starting any cleanliness drive, we have to make sure that we have a clean mind first. Cleanliness is not only necessary to get good impression from others; however it is very important for the healthy mind, body, spirit, and environment. As we care for our body to be clean, we must care for our country too.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (or Clean India Mission) is a clean India drive run by the Government of India to cover around 4,041 statutory cities and towns of India to clean the roads, streets, and making better infrastructure of the country. We should respect and follow this national campaign and support it through our every possible effort.
Thank You.
