My topic is cleaness of our surrounding.

Anything which is taught at an early age remains firmly implanted in the mind. It is essential to cultivate good habits at a young age, and cleanliness is one of the most important.

Being clean and tidy is important. Cleanliness should start with personal hygiene. It is crucial for people to learn about hygiene, and the various diseases linked to lack of it.

From a very young age, formation of certain habits like washing hands before meals, regular brushing of teeth, and bathing are a must. These are entirely personal habits. And, since we live in a society it is essential to follow certain rules like keeping our surroundings clean, avoiding littering in public places, refraining from spitting on the road, and many more.

Any habits, good or bad, taught or even picked up at a young age, get embedded into one's personality. Unfortunately, today, many adults themselves do not set very good examples of cleanliness. In fact, habits like smoking, chewing tobacco and betel leaves, and spitting on roads and sidewalks, are a sick heritage handed down from our parents and elderly relatives. Many public places used for defecating are left messy and stinking, leading to any number of diseases. There is a dire need to educate and sensitive people about the importance of cleanliness in light of our faith.

Litter on roads, polluted water bodies and poor sanitation make excellent breeding grounds for creepy crawly pests. Medical research has discovered that rats, mice, cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes serve as hosts for transmitting disease. Lack of hygiene is an open invitation to infectious disease.

Cleanliness, if we may say so, can make the difference between life and death. A healthy environment is necessary if we want to stay healthy. If the environment is dirty it badly affects the health of the people living around.

Wherever we live, it is important for us to keep it clean. Let's start with our individual homes. If our homes are clean we will obviously enjoy a healthy life. And in society it is the responsibility of each and every human being to maintain certain hygienic standards. A clean environment, besides being a pleasure to live in, is a healthy environment.

School and other educational institutions should spread knowledge on importance of cleanliness by adding it in curriculum and Textbooks. Demonstrating cleanliness in school premises, involving students in cleaning activities is a very good way to spread awareness about cleanliness.

Importance of cleanliness can spread to the masses via the online and offline media. Various educational programs can be showcased by the media on importance of cleanliness, which would show the advantages and disadvantages of cleanliness.

The importance of cleanliness cannot be ignored in individual as well as communal life. On one hand it is an important factor for human health and spiritual development; on the other hand it is essential for environmental development.

Our planet Earth is known as the 'GREEN PLANET. ' It is the most beautiful planet in the whole Universe. The Greenery of this planet is like the Green Belt of the Earth. The development of this green belt is in our hands. We should keep our Earth clean and green.

Yes, it is very true guys. Everybody wants to live in cleanliness but nobody wants to clean. It is the duty of every human being on this earth. Most of the diseases have been spreading just because of dirtiness. Pollution is increasing. It is not the thing that we can force other to make clean. Cleanliness comes from self-involvement. It is we who can earth dirt free. Each and every person have to take it as a challenge. It will automatically dirt free and we don't need to start any campaign related to it. The only thing that we need to educate the people that's why they can take responsibility for it. Thankyou.

Hello ! I'm Vaishnavi.

Yes, I agree to the topic that cleanliness is the fundamental and a must duty of every citizen not only Indian citizen but all the people living on this earth.

I don't think that anybody loves or like to keep himself or herself dirty, or, his or her surrounding dirty, does anybody ?

If we are surrounded by dirt we get negative vibes according to me, So one should keep himself or herself always clean and the surrounding clean to be always positive.

We the citizens of INDIA have to pledge that we will never throw garbage on the road, rivers, parks, etc. We only throw garbage on the dustbins kept the side of the roads.

This is not a long essay but these words are my feelings for MY INDIA and the Indian CITIZENS.

If every citizen were doing this OUR INDIA BECOME CLEAN INDIA.

Citizens as well as government is equally responsible for the cleanliness of our country. Instead of blaming each other a strategy is needed to overcome this situation. If government takes a firm decision to put waste bins on every 1 km on the sidewalks and fines are given to citizens who doesn't put waste materials in the bins, the prevalent system will surely change. But it is also important that these wastes in the waste bins should be collected by municipality and dumped into the landfills or incenerated. People will have no choice other than keeping city clean.

Yes, I agree wih Saswatha, what she said is, As an Indian we have the responsibility to keep our environment clean and green. Government should Take immediate action against the companies who are using plastic bags for their productivity. Instead of that we can use cloth or eco friendly bags.

Yes, it is a fundamental responsibility of an Indian Citizen. Actually, I want to say one more thing, it is often seen in many people that they do not clean themselves, but rather blame the government for the mess. In those eyes, the government will come city and clean it? When Indian consider India as their home, can they not clean India like their home? Most people think that by lifting the garbage and throwing them in their inferiority complex, which is very wrong. We need to change this thinking.

"This India is our country,

It is like our house, as We clean our house,

Likewise, We have to clean the mess from our India".

According to my opinion, we have to make our India clean before that we must clean our mind and heart truly. Because unless you're able to work in a team, you'll always perform below par.

Hello,

I am Riya Singh and now I am here in front of you to share my feelings that I want to say something about cleanliness.

Cleanliness is not our fundamental duty, it's our feeling to keep our country neat and clean for that we can say proudly "INDIA" is our country.

So,

Let's take a pledge to keep our country clean that anyone can say that INDIA is our Country.
