My Clean Meerut

(A report from Janhit Foundation)

On the 1st of November, 2010 Mr Remco Van Santen came to Meerut to inspire the city to be part of something beautiful that started in Nainital three years ago.

 An action committee was set up on the evening of the 1st. On the 2nd Mr. Remco and Janhit Foundation gave presentations to two schools, Devan Public School and Army Public School. In both schools there were highly enthusiastic students and equally supportive and pragmatic teachers. We also visited the City Magistrate of Meerut; Mr Praven Mishra and the Chief Development Officer; Mr Pranjal Yadar

 My Clean India (MCI) is a not for profit concept promoting the empowerment of self and your community This was Mr. Remco’s fourth visit to Meerut, in the past he met with the Late Sh. Anil Rana. And it is his vision that is being carried forth by Mr Remco and Janhit Foundation

 We ask you, dear reader to support My Clean and My Clean Meerut specifically by actively taking pride in you city, promoting good initiatives and taking small steps in your own way. A Beautiful, prosperous Meerut is in your hands.

 Watch this space, a big step of action will be happening in Meerut shortly

Impact (click to see more)

The clear and positive spirit of the competition influenced the schools and we got a very good participation from most of the schools.

The participation was with all the spirits high, with all the enthusiasm and vision the young eyes carry within them.

It is true that only few won the prizes but all the participants were appreciated and encouraged by giving away a certificate from the foundation. So that they don’t stop thinking about the environment.

The kids and our team felt motivated by the words our chief guest CDO, Meerut , Mr. Pranjal Yadav, who encouraged all the participants saying that it’s the participation that matters sometimes, it’s not winning always; as those who don’t even participate are still a step behind from those who try and participate.

He also said that it is not just the bookish knowledge that matters in this time; it has to be overall development of the kids which can only be attained if they are motivated to participate in such events. It develops their confidence, their thinking ability and makes them a person ready for the tomorrow.
