"CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS"
Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi was one of the great influencers who always followed this mantra. He demonstrated, propagated, and insisted on individual and community cleanliness throughout his life. Following his footprints, the Swachh Bharat Mission campaign achieved encouraging results. The Swachha Dharat Abhiyaan is the most significant cleanliness campaign by the Government of India. It is the responsibility of the entire citizens to keep their surroundings clean and hygienic. It also brings good and positive thoughts to the mind which slows down the occurrence of diseases. Community people are also required to come forward to maintain their surroundings clean. To do their own bit in the humongous task of this noble cause, the students of the Department of Physics, Integral University have also taken an initiative one step towards cleanliness.
