SWATCHHTA ABHIYAN IN K V KATHMANDU As part of Cleanliness Drive, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has initiated a Cleanliness Campaign in all Kendriya Vidyalayas. K V Kathmandu has taken up the ‘Swatchhta Abhiyan’ in true spirit. Principal, staff and students of K V Kathmandu were engaged in an intensive cleaning programme of the school and the campus on 16th November 2014. In the Morning Assembly, the Principal Mrs Radha Mahalakshmi administered an oath as she provided an insight into the relevance of the Cleanliness Campaign. ‘Clean is the New Green’ is the motto adopted by students as they vowed to make cleaning a habit. The Principal and teachers joined hands with the students in rendering the school clean. Students and staff enthusiastically took to broom, mop and brush to clean the furniture, cupboard, floor, walls and display boards of the classroom. The Vidyalaya wore a new clean look by evening. Every nook and corner including labs, departments and garden were cleaned and all waste materials and garbage were removed. Some of the students along with the Principal cleaned even the toilets. A month long activity schedule has been planned to instill cleanliness as a habit in children. Students are participating in Slogan writing, Poster making, Essay Writing and Drawing and painting competition in this connection. In Morning Assembly various activities like skit, role play and talks are organized to drive home the theme. With combined efforts the Vidyalaya looks forward for a clean and conducive atmosphere to make educational pursuits more meaningful and holoistic.
