It is true that Sanitation and Hygiene begins at home. When we are children
our parents teach us importance of Sanitation and Hygiene and we follow it. When
we grew up we do the same and cycle goes on in this way.
But our country is so big that there are large number of our fellow
Indians does not know importance of Sanitation and hygiene. They make houses in
villages but do not make toilets. For nature call they use open spaces which is
very unhygienic for them. They don’t know they can easily catch diseases as
others also uses same areas as toilets daily. Not only this their girls and
ladies also not safe from anti elements because most of the women go for nature
call alone and faces rape like incidents. We read these types of cases daily in
newspapers.
One awakening incident I must
want to share with all of you that I have a servant at home. He is native of a
village near Sultanpur of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Once, while talking to him I
come to know that he have his house in village but didn’t have toilet. I told
him how important is toilet at home. He
agreed on my suggestion and on his next visit to the village built a toilet at
home. Not only this he even asked his
relatives to do the same. In this way if all fellow Indian realises the
importance of sanitation and Hygiene then nobody can stop us from making our
Country as Swachh India.
