Clean the Drain Before the Rain- A Mass Cleanliness Drive in Honour of Statehood’s Golden Jubilee

This initiative focused on drainage areas, particularly targeting key sites where drains are prone to clogging, as a proactive measure for disaster preparedness during the upcoming monsoon season.

The campaign aimed to enhance community resilience by reducing the risks of waterlogging, blocked drains, and the subsequent threats of flooding and landslides. In alignment with this goal, landslide-prone and other vulnerable areas were thoroughly assessed.

Following this, the Village Level Disaster Committee has been tasked with drafting a comprehensive Village Level Disaster Plan.

The drive saw enthusiastic participation from Panchayat members, Assistant Directors, Barefoot Engineers (BFEs), and other Gram Panchayat Unit (GPU) staff.

Joint efforts were made to inspect the drainage systems, remove debris, and ensure smooth water flow. In addition, the Barefoot Engineers conducted water quality testing at local water sources using the FTK (Field Test Kit) to ensure safety and hygiene.

This initiative not only marks a celebration of progress but also reaffirms the commitment to sustainable and disaster-resilient development in the region.
