India that is Bharat is an ancient civilization. It is considered to be a pious nation, its people are very religious. India is consists of people of various faiths; Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Shikhs, Parsis, Jains etc, and they follow their faiths very devotedly. But it is a sad reality of our country that all the cleanliness and piousness is only confined to religious activities or kitchen. We Indians are not concerned about the filth all around us everywhere; anywhere one looks large mounds of dirt will be found.

It’s not in our behaviour to keep our surrounding clean and sanitized. At the most we keep our own houses clean and it is of no concern of ours to be careful about streets, lanes, parks or other public places. Even after 65 years of Independence, it is really shameful that Indians are famous for their unhygienic behaviour.

To take a step ahead toward cleanliness Rotaract Club of JIMS Engineering Management Technical Campus, Greater Noida, organized a Cleanliness drive in the campus on 3rd October 2017. Volunteers of the club took part in large number in the drive and cleaned the around and nearby area in the campus. Some glimpses are as follows:
