New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is actively participating in the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva' initiative, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Mission by organising various activities across metro stations, residential colonies, construction sites, and depots.
DMRC employees, their family members, and construction site workers participated in ‘shram daan’ at approximately 110 locations to support the ‘Jan Andolan’ movement for a cleaner India. A zero-waste street food festival was also organised at the Noida staff quarters. Additionally, DMRC has adopted 70 Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs) outside its premises to promote a cleaner environment near metro stations, depots, and residential colonies.
As part of the campaign, DMRC also hosted a cultural programme today, featuring live music performances by employees and residents of DMRC’s staff quarters. The event highlighted the importance of community participation in cleanliness drives, fostering a sense of solidarity among participants.
DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar shared a video message across the metro network, urging passengers to actively participate in the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign. He emphasised that the initiative aligns with DMRC's commitment to cleanliness and hygiene, encouraging everyone to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment for future generations.
The Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) campaign is being observed from 17th September to 2nd October, focusing on inspiring voluntary 'shram daan' activities to instil a sense of collective responsibility for cleanliness among citizens. The 2024 theme for the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign is “Swabhav Swachhata, Sanskar Swachhata.” To encourage public participation, announcements are being made across all metro stations, informing passengers about the campaign and encouraging them to actively engage in cleanliness activities, reinforcing the spirit of shared responsibility in keeping the metro and its surroundings clean.
