FACULTY MEMBERS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CLEANLINESS DRIVE
1 . To keep our environment as clean as possible and helping in
upliftment of the society . Each and every person's hygiene is im- portant . By cleanliness we can reduce diseases and help reduce the suffering 2 . It's good to interact with people . We got to know about their culture and the way they live . The children there were so happy and encouraging us to do work . It makes us feel good about the work we do
3 . There would a less need of these cleanliness drives . If we
adopt these habits on daily basis and also teach the children the same. Team work and distribution of work was inculcated throughout the event for it would not have been such a success if else.
4.We learnt how to be disciplined , responsible and organised in
our approach , contributing to our personality and also inculcated positivity inside us It helps in increasing the cost effectiveness and gave emotional and mental peace .
5. The overall takeaway from this program would be to under-
stand the importance of finding joy in little things which the chil- dren have depicted throughout and it was an enriching experience to every member. COMBINED TEAM EFFORT RESULTED IN SUCCESS
HARD WORK PAYS OFF
