CLEANLINESS : A STEP TOWARDS A HEALTHIER TOMORROW
Cleanliness has a vital role in the life of each and every person as well as the society in general. As quoted by John Wesley, ” “cleanliness is next to Godliness”. This phrase emphasises the importance of cleanliness for a healthy life. It is a step towards a healthier tomorrow. Cleanliness can be defined as the habit of keeping ourselves physically and mentally clean, including our home, pet animals, surroundings, environment, pond, river, schools, etc. Actually, cleanliness is both the abstract state of being clean and free from germs, dirt, trash or waste and the habit of achieving and maintaining that state. Mahatma Gandhi had a revolutionary vision about making India clean. Basically there are many benefits of a clean environment like saving endangered species, pollution free surroundings, less hazards, steady supply of food, water and many natural resources. Thus as a responsible citizen, it is our duty to ensure cleanliness of not only our home but our surroundings and our country, too.
