*Chandigarh, January 24:-* On the occasion of National Girl Child Day, the MC Chandigarh recognized and honored girls from the city for their exceptional contribution towards promoting Swachhata practices like RRR, Home Composting, Segregation of Waste and refusing to use banned plastics and fostering community growth. MC Commissioner Ms. Anindita Mitra, IAS acknowledged their outstanding efforts and achievements by felicitating them with a gesture of appreciation – certificates and a handmade gift crafted made by Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
The Commissioner said that the remarkable dedication and commitment shown by these young girls in promoting cleanliness and sustainability in their communities is truly inspiring. Their efforts are invaluable in creating a cleaner and greener future for Chandigarh, and they serve as role models for others to actively participate in the Swachhata movement.
These young girls boundless creativity has been demonstrated through their remarkable ability to transform waste materials into valuable products, actively promoting the principles of recycling and upcycling.
With the unwavering support of MC Chandigarh, they have taken charge of disposing plastic waste in their respective areas, effectively ensuring a pristine and untainted environment for their communities. These visionary individuals have spearheaded pioneering waste segregation initiatives, paving the way for a future that is both cleaner and greener, while their tireless efforts in organizing cleanliness awareness drives near school campuses, engaging in captivating wall beautification projects, and actively participating in the creation of cloth bags as sustainable alternatives to plastic have collectively contributed to visually stunning and environmentally conscious surroundings.
In their pivotal roles as advocates for waste segregation, they have instigated a significant shift in behaviour, influencing others to shun single-use plastics and embrace the practice of waste categorization.
By actively engaging in home composting, they have made substantial strides in reducing waste and promoting practices that are ecologically sustainable. Through their well-executed awareness campaigns on the significance of cleanliness and sanitation, their participation in slogan writing activities aimed at conserving paper and safeguarding the environment, and their skillful choreography of street plays to raise awareness among their neighbors, they have effectively nurtured a heightened sense of consciousness within their communities.
Additionally, their involvement in home composting and leadership in plantation drives have played an instrumental role in creating a more verdant and sustainable environment.
