Clean up Ajmer Day 26 November 2010
The newly created My Clean School Ajmer Society with Mr Suresh
Mathur as Secretary has declared 26 November 2010 as Clean Up Ajmer
Day. At least 5,000 students are anticipated to be in
action with wide ranging programs including the distribution of of at least
50,000 sankalps (oaths) to undertake to keep clean. More details.
The schools network involves schools representatives of one
teacher and two students. The next meeting will be have the presence
of the
Divisional Commissioner, Mr. Atul Sharma.
We had a meeting of some of our core group
and some volunteers yesterday. We plan to launch in the new
year what we are calling 'Zero Kachra(litter) Campaign' in as many
schools as we can(depending on how many volunteers we can find to
man it).
We are offering a challenge to the students
in the school-can they over a period of 3 months ensure that not a
single piece of litter is found on the ground-every bit of litter
must be put in litter bins. The point is to get students to not
throw litter on the ground in the first place rather than focus on
the picking up of litter.
Students will be asked to work out how they
intend to go about it, what they will need(loads of litter bins?!),
how will the leaders cajole, inspire, prompt students to
achieve the target. Each volunteer from MCS will take on 2 schools
which he/she will visit every alternate week to interact with
students/teachers/Principal emphasising the point that the students
must lead the campaign. We will also involve the local councillor of
the area and if need be find sponsors to donate bins( we will
propose students make their own/find their own bins in the first
place).
We believe that if the students get into the
habit of throwing litter in the bins in the school this habit will
extend to their homes and subsequently reduce litter on the roads
making it easier to keep the city clean.

Joining Hands
My
Clean
School,
Ajmer’ and the Rotary
Club (Mid Town) Ajmer join hands to
support an environmental initiative
.
Savitri
Girls
Primary School is a member
of the ‘My Clean School’
movement in Ajmer.


The dynamic duo of the Headmistress, Mrs.
Jyotsna Sharma and Mrs. Kanta Mishra,teacher coordinator for the
school, have fired the imagination of the young girls who are keen
to work towards tidying up their school campus and also to take the
messages ‘Save Water’ and ‘Avoid using Polythene
bags’ to their homes.
The Headmistress requested the ‘My
Clean School, Ajmer’
organization to find a sponsor who would donate large dust bins to
the school.
Rotary Club was approached and their President
Mr. Sanjeev Khandelwal readily agreed to present 10 dust bins to the
school children.
At a simple but meaningful ceremony held in
the school on the 11th of May 2010, Mr. Suresh Mathur, Facilitator,
told the children that our belief is that if the students started
looking around and came up with suggestions about what they would
like to do to improve their environment, it would be of great value
all round.
The Rotary President commended the initiative
and complimented the students, the headmistress and the teacher
co-ordinator for their zeal. He also said that Rotary would be keen
to support environmental initiatives by school children.

Suresh reports: ‘My Clean School,
Ajmer’
Catch ‘em Young!
The Ajmer Kindergarten School, a nursery
school with children aged 2 to 3 years, is a member of the ‘My Clean
School, Ajmer’ initiative and undoubtedly has the youngest members
among all the member schools in the city!

A trendsetter school, ‘Greening
Ajmer’ is a part of its vision statement.
Nisha Agarwal, the Headmistress of the school,
beams with pride as she explains how all students are given a plant
in a pot when they join the school with their name tag on it. Each
student waters his plant regularly under the caring eye of the
teacher and watches it grow. A bond grows between the child and the
plant.
When the student leaves school
he/she is gifted the plant to take home.
It is also a message to the parents, says
Nisha.
If more schools adopted the idea the planet
would be greener! Wouldn’t you agree?
May 2009
My Clean School Ajmer organised a poster making competition for
school children on the topic: 'Reduce- Reuse-Recycle' on 18th Sept.
2009.
The response was very heartening and the quality of posters was
extremely good.
Sponsors
provided funds for prizes and for all other expenditure.
The Divisional Commissioner, Mr. Atul Sharma, commended the effort
of the students and promised all support to the 'My Clean School
Ajmer' efforts.
