Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) joined hands with Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore (RACC) to host an awareness program on various aspects of Swachh Bharat Mission for the students of the Kovai Medical Center and Hospital (KMCH) College of Nursing (CON). Dr. Madhavi, Principal, KMCH CON welcomed the gathering.
In her welcome address the principal educated the audience that at one time, India was one of the cleanest countries and our country was a role model for other nations of the world. “Once India was a civilized society, however, things are not the same now. The responsibility of keeping our nation clean is not the Government’s responsibility alone. We citizens too have an active role to play in keeping our nation clean. Through its various initiatives the CCMC is doing a great job in keeping our city clean. We must cooperate with the Coimbatore Corporation.”
Paramasivam, Zonal Director, Coimbatore Corporation educated the students on the importance of cleanliness. He initiated the Swachh Mission pledge. Through his address he educated the students of nursing about the pledge. He said “The CCMC is leaving no stone unturned in order to keep our city clean. We are identifying areas where open defecation is taking place and the Coimbatore Corporation is working on ways and means to deal with this problem. Construction of public toilets is on the cards.”
Dr.Meenakshi Bharath, Gynaecologist and Fertility specialist, Bangalore in her address to the students emphasised on the importance of segregating and disposing waste. “We must follow the two bin one bag concept while segregating and disposing waste. Waste must be classified into degradable, bio-degradable and hazardous waste and disposed. Additionally, we must consciously come out of the use and throw concept. We must avoid using plastic as much as we can. By adopting proper methods of disposing waste our surrounding will be clean and we will be healthy too.”
Malini Parmar, Founder of STONESOUP, Bangalore and Member of Sustainable Menstruation India and Smita Kulkarni, Co-Founder of STONESOUP, Bangalore educated the students on Sustainable Menstruation.
