All central government employees have been asked to be present in their offices on 2 October to take cleanliness pledge as part of the Narendra Modi government’s ‘Clean India’ campaign.
The employees will be administered ‘Swachhata Shapath’ (pledge of cleanliness) in government offices, public functions and events, said a directive issued by cabinet secretary Ajit Seth to all central government secretaries. ‘Each ministry should participate in this national endeavour and undertake cleanliness and awareness campaign in a befitting manner,’ Seth said.
The cleanliness drives led by senior officials will be undertaken in all government and public offices, it said. The prime minister will, on 2 October, launch ‘Clean India’ campaign, a mass movement aimed at cleaning the country. A week-long drive was started from Thursday to get rid of clutter, garbage and weed out old and unwanted things from government office premises, the directive said.
‘There is a need to create massive public awareness and to ensure participation and action for cleaning homes, government offices, schools, hospitals, work places, streets, roads and markets, railway station and bus terminals, statues, monuments, rivers, lakes, ponds and other public places,’ it said. Modi had on 15 August announced the launch of the campaign.
