The nation’s children can be catalysts of change.
The NDA Government seems
to have taken this cue, and will now bring out a comic book to promote
awareness on sanitation in order to realise the Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s dream of a Swachh Bharat.
The Ministry of Urban Development on Wednesday Aug 31,2016 signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Amar Chitra Katha to publish and distribute a
special edition of the comic book.
“The 32-page comic book will carry messages pertaining to sanitation and
solid waste components of Swachh Bharat Mission,” the statement from
the Ministry said. It will comprise a series of inspirational stories
from the mission, cleanliness rankings of cities, the public figures and
ambassadors, environmental impact, and stories of individuals and
organisations.
“Youth and students are one of the biggest change agents for any social
transformation and the comic book would aim to engage with them in an
innovative manner and spread the message of cleanliness,” Union Urban
Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said.
Amar Chitra Katha will develop and create the comic book in English and
translate it into Hindi. The Ministry will distribute them through
national school boards such as CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Navodaya
Vidyalaya.
The comic book will also have an interactive workbook of tips for
children to clean their own areas, organise community cleanliness drives
etc.
