Animals like cows, buffaloes and dogs are freely roaming in almost all Indian cities. This leads to not only unhygienic conditions (due to their daily wastes & dead bodies) but also disturbing traffic (cows and bulls) + possible threat of dog biting. No developed country like US, UK, Japan, Hongkong or Singapore can think of such situation. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan can not be completed without Govt taking bold step to completely remove all animals from roads & colonies. Expecting a reply!

One thing which is possible for Gov to immediately in this regards is to provide proper garbage collection from all houses.I shifted last week to Jaipur and in major non metro cities like Jaipur, this facility is not available in all the areas. No one comes to pick up waste from our houses and no big dustbin from Municipal corporation is provided in the vicinity to throw the waste. I found people throwing waste on open land available in the area because no other options left.

If beggars are motivated to join the mission which they can do it very well. This way they can collect waste and deposit at a local collection cente, it will provide the last mile connectivity and will go a long way for clean india and alleviate begging problem too.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF WASTES BY NOT ONLY PUBLIC BUT ALSO MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD BE MONITORED SO THAT THE WASTES DO NOT CONTAMINATE ENVIRONMENT. USE OF BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS FOR SHOPPING, PARCELS,ETC SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ENFORCED. FIND SOME METHODS SO THAT THE DAILY GREEN WASTES IN OUR HOMES BE CONVERTED INTO POSITIVE ENERGY OR CONVERTED IN ORGANIC MANURE.WE SHOULD TRY MAXIMUM TO AVOID ACCUMULATION OF NON BIODEGRADABLE WASTES.DUMPING YARDS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED TO STOP WASTES BEING DUMPED ANYWHERE.

Production of cloth bags must be encouraged and people might be encouraged to exchange a fixed no of polythene bags with a cloth bag, at specific places within a city. These polythene bags might be recycled to be used in low weight clothing, as in the case of present uniform of Indian Cricket Team.

On the other hand , the authority of government officials might just be the factor to motivate the commoners to action. No cut in the official working time is required. Most of the govt offices and private businesses remain close on Sundays . People might be motivated to resist from sleeping from longer hours on such days and instead devote some 2 hrs of morning to this noble cause. With each individual just cleaning just 10 m sq of area or so ,a locality is bound to be clean at the end of 2 hrs

The governments at central, state and local levels boast of millions of officials. Can not a specific official be given charge of a specific locality. The official might invite the locals in that area and initiate the cleanliness process. Each individual might be held in charge of a specific area. The Commoners in India are all motivated but do not translate this motivation into action. Naming 9 individuals, just involves high profile drama with 50 people cleaning just in 1m and does little good

I know one thing.. If one does not want to pay income tax or something like that then its an offence.. But in case of cleanliness.. The whole scenario is different.. My point is that government should make strict laws or values for clean India in every area, society, colony and every councillor, mayor should know his duty properly.. Everything is possible if we are dedicated and well determined. Bins are not there on roads. Special committes should be made in every area for our infrastructure.

First of all we have to clean our society. After than we can clean our India.

Curb Plastic Menance Dear Sir, I think government should tax heavily for under 100 micron plastic (Rs 20-30 per kg), and have municipal collection centers where the same tax can be rebated back to the people who recycled their plastics as waste collection centers and rag pickers never collect it as they offer very low return of Rs 5-8, If we could rebate (through municipal agencies) whatever tax collected of Rs 20-30, we might be able to achieve higher level of recycling percentages.
