The “Swachh Basant Utsav” organised by MC Chandigarh seems like a fantastic initiative to promote sustainability and environmental awareness. The dedication to celebrating Basant Panchmi in a way that emphasizes cleanliness and green practices is commendable.

The inclusion of a symbolic kite dedicated to Safaimitras, hand-painted by SHGs, is a touching gesture, recognizing the significant contribution of those working towards maintaining the city’s cleanliness. MX Kajal Mangalmukhi’s presence as the Brand Ambassador of Swachh Bharat Mission adds prestige to the event and helps spread the message of cleanliness. The various competitions, such as kite flying and mehndi, involving MC officers, employees, Safaimitras, and SHGs, showcase a united commitment to environmental consciousness and cleanliness. The Swachhata Messages on the kites, along with the emphasis on eco-friendly kite strings and a zero-waste approach, reflect a thoughtful focus on sustainable practices.

The event’s incorporation of the ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ (RRR) principle and the use of yellow color symbolism for hope and optimism contribute to creating a visually appealing and meaningful celebration. The commitment of MC Chandigarh to continue fostering a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for all citizens is indeed praiseworthy.
Overall, it’s heartening to see such proactive efforts to create awareness and encourage active participation in building a cleaner and environmentally responsible Chandigarh. The city’s commitment to sustainability through events like “Swachh Basant Utsav” sets an inspiring example for other communities.
