| While these cleanliness drives and campaigns serve as gestures, there is no substitute to hard work, which the MCC Commissioner and District DC have to undertake. If they need any lessons on sustainable solution, they have to look within their own fraternity. Mr. S.R.Rao singlehandedly provided the kind of leadership that cleaned up Surat after the 1994 plague and put in values and administrative systems in place which are still working and keeping that city cleaner any most other cities in our country. S.R.Rao is still serving Union of India, and is available as a role model for our own IAS officers. | |

| Extremely good gesture by the students and equally good motivating participation by Police commissioner and the DC. I am sure they will succeed in the long run. Thank you Daiji Bellevision for publishing such brilliant news clip. I believe, in Moodubelle too we can have similar activity. Students, teachers, politicians, and the citizens together can start some kind of cleaning drive so that littering habits will decline and it would help on long term to keep our city and Santhekatte clean. People in the neighborhood too may follow this thread. Someone should take the initiative. May be Panchayath or School / colleges. Your opinion fellow commenter’s please. | |
