The Incantation Of Neatness: ‘Zero Waste=100 Marks’

Steps for a waste free Kerala through Zero waste scheme

As a result of the increasing waste and the related health problems in Kerala, it has become necessary that all work together with great responsibility for a better tomorrow. When a substance is thrown away after its use or not placed where it actually has to be, then that thing is usually considered as waste or something that may cause health problems. Hence the correct usage and placement of a substance can be considered as cleanliness. This habit is to be taught among school students for making them aware of the importance of cleanliness.

Let’s aim for a clean Kerala through the first lessons of cleanliness taught to us from schools. The scheme named Zero waste=100 marks, is advancing towards cleanliness by incorporating the complete involvement of school students. The schools that gain first and second place for cleanliness will be awarded with a cash prize of Rs.1lakh and Rs.50,000 each. Eight schools will be awarded with a consolation prize of Rs.5000.

The schools that keep their school and surroundings clean will be selected as winners. The schools interested to participate in this competition have to first register in Manorama online and then upload the photos of classrooms, playground, garden, bathroom, wash area, the road in front of the school or any other area that you refer to be kept clean. The jury will select the best 200 schools from these. Later the jury will secretly enquire whether the schools are kept as clean as shown in the photos provided.

While trying to keep the school clean, necessary steps must also be taken to keep the school free from plastic wastes. Debates and quiz programs can also be conducted to make students aware of the availability of clean water and the hazards caused to life as a result of polluted water. Make them also aware of the correct usage of clean water.

Cleanliness of body, school, house and surrounding will pave the way to cleanliness. When children gain this knowledge and become ready to follow the measures to keep the surroundings clean, it will automatically bring about some changes in the grown ups. Thus the combined effort of each and every citizen in Kerala can turn it into the most wonderful place on this earth to live in. Even though Kerala is known as “God’s own country”, this saying will become absolutely true only when we all try our best to keep it clean.

These lessons of cleanliness have to be completed in each school within three months by participating each and every student of the school. Teachers must also be empowered to give necessary instructions to the students to make this attempt a grand success. The jury containing the environmental experts will take the last decision regarding the winners.

The winners will be announced on February, 2013.  Last date: November 9th.

If you have any doubts regarding the zero waste, please contact us from Monday to Friday on the number 9744175303.
