200 Students Form Human Chain at Jagadhri School to Spread Cleanliness Message
Around 200 students of St. Thomas School, Jagadhri, formed a human chain to create the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ logo and spread a message of cleanliness, responsibility and public participation under the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign.
The cleanliness-awareness programme was organised by the Municipal Corporation at the school, where students participated enthusiastically in an activity designed to connect the message of cleanliness with everyday life. The large human formation turned the campaign slogan into a visible message for students, teachers and the wider community.
Students Give Message of Clean City and Clean School
The students conveyed the message of “Clean City, Clean School and Clean Society”, encouraging people to make cleanliness a regular part of their daily lifestyle. Through the human chain, they highlighted the importance of collective responsibility and community participation in keeping public and private surroundings clean.
The activity demonstrated how students can become active participants in public-awareness campaigns. Instead of limiting the message to speeches or posters, the participants used a coordinated group activity to communicate the idea that cleanliness depends on the involvement of individuals, families, schools and communities.
Human Chain Turns Awareness Into Action
The human-chain formation provided students with an opportunity to translate a cleanliness message into a practical group exercise. By working together to create the campaign logo, they demonstrated coordination, discipline and shared responsibility while spreading awareness about clean surroundings.
The initiative also highlighted the role of educational institutions in developing civic awareness among young people. Schools can provide students with opportunities to understand how everyday choices, including responsible disposal of waste and care for common spaces, contribute to a cleaner environment.
Swachh Bharat Mission Team Interacts With Students
Municipal Corporation Swachh Bharat Mission team expert Durgesh Kumar participated in the activity and interacted with the students about the importance of cleanliness. He encouraged them to keep their homes, school and surrounding areas clean and to motivate family members and others in their communities to follow responsible cleanliness practices.
Kumar also emphasised the importance of taking the cleanliness message beyond the school campus. Students were encouraged to share what they learn with their families and neighbours so that awareness can gradually reach a wider section of society.
Cleanliness as Part of Everyday Life
During the programme, students were encouraged to understand that cleanliness is not limited to occasional drives or special campaigns. It becomes more meaningful when simple habits are incorporated into everyday life.
Keeping classrooms and common areas clean, using waste bins appropriately, avoiding littering and encouraging others to maintain clean surroundings are among the everyday actions through which students can contribute to a cleaner environment. Such habits can also strengthen a sense of responsibility towards shared public spaces.
Students Honoured With Medals
Students who participated in the programme were honoured with medals. The recognition added to the enthusiasm among participants and encouraged them to remain involved in cleanliness-related activities.
The students’ participation also gave the programme a strong educational dimension. By taking part in a public-awareness activity, they were able to experience how teamwork and organised participation can communicate a message to a larger audience.
Principal Calls for Wider Public Movement
School Principal Dr Chandana Lal called for the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign to become a broader public movement. She stressed the importance of strengthening the collective commitment towards a cleaner India and encouraging people from different sections of society to participate in cleanliness initiatives.
The programme brought the Municipal Corporation’s cleanliness-awareness team and school students together around a common objective. The human chain provided a simple but visually effective way of reminding participants that public cleanliness is a shared responsibility rather than the duty of any one group alone.
Young Participants Carry the Message Forward
The participation of nearly 200 students showed the potential of school-based activities to engage young people in civic-awareness programmes. Students not only took part in the formation of the logo but also received guidance on maintaining cleanliness around their homes, school and neighbourhoods.
The programme concluded with the message that a clean environment is supported by consistent individual action and community participation. The students’ human chain at St. Thomas School, Jagadhri, thus became a visual expression of the Swachhata Hi Seva message and an appeal to make cleanliness a regular part of daily life.
