3. We ‘Felt’:
• That the garbage and waste near the
village creates many problem to the
villagers.
•The stinking smell is causing problems
for the passers by while
crossing this place.
We felt that doing something about this
place would be a sigh of relief for the
school goers and passers by.

4. We ‘Imagined’:
• That cleanliness of this place would bring
a little comfort for all the people and our
action would also sensitize the community
towards the cleanliness of this village.
• That we will be a helping hand in
making our village disease free.
• That if we could aware community
regarding this problem , the level
of health and hygiene in
community will go up, and we, the
students will also be benefited.

5. We ‘Did’:
• We started a
cleanliness drive in
the form of a
procession through
the village.
• We went to the site
and start cleaning
the area. Through
the rally we
conveyed the
message how to
manage the solid
waste.

6. We ‘Did’:
We prepared placards with
relevant slogans.
We went door to door and met
every person and made
them understand about the
solid waste management.
.
• We also met ladies of the village and
requested them not to through the garbage
here and there .

7. Impact on Community:
• Sensitized by the efforts of the students,the
village people came forward and joined
hands with us in the cleanliness drive.
• They realized that cleanliness of their village
is their responsibility.
• Some of the volunteers also
instructed the womenfolk not to
dirty the place by scattering waste.

8. Impact on Us:
• We felt very happy that despite
of our age, we could contribute
in the welfare of our village.
• Community appreciated us very
much for this activity.
• We enjoyed the activity very much . we
covered the whole village and showed great
enthusiasm while talking to community and
making them aware about solid waste
management.

9. Experience of Community Members & Teachers:
•Community shared that no one
ever cared about this problem .
Even govt. officials never bothered
to visit our village and take care of
this problem. We are thankful to
you that you took the initiative.
• “The SBS students have done a
commendable job, which has opened
the eyes of the villagers and due to
their efforts, the villagers are now
motivated and aware towards their
effort.”
Sarpanch of the village.

10. The Road Ahead…..(in the next 3 months)
• We plan time to time monitoring of the cleanliness status of the
village where we had done the drive.

• We will mark more of such places in the village where we could
contribute .
