Getting Down & Dirty Deepavenkatraman Posted online: Monday, April 07, 2008 at 0114 hrs Print Email
The best way to dream of a clean city is to pick up a broom and get down to businessthats the thumb-rule for these youngsters of the World Alliance for Youth Empowerment Related Stories The power to do anythingA Local, A LifelineSnapped UpFlower PowerMaking A Song and Dance Of It Ad Links Neither the scorching April sun nor the stink and dirt can deter these youngsters, they have proven. For the past four Sundays now, hundreds of youngsters associated with the World Alliance for Youth Empowerment (a registered NGO under the aegis of the Art of Living movement) have rolled up their sleeves and got down to business cleaning up various parts of the city. So, dont be surprised if you spot one such group the following Sunday, wielding brooms and mops, sweeping with gusto. The campaign Clean Mumbai Inside Outside of WAYE is supported by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and a nongovernmental organization called United Way. Led by teachers of the Art of Living Youth Empowerment and Skill Workshop Plus course, the campaign is currently being carried out in Chembur (Ghatla Road), Andheri (Gandhi Lane and Jijamata RoadRPT ), Mulund (Sant Ramdas Road), Malad (Film City Road), Worli (Agar Bazar), Goregaon and Bandra (Garden Lane, Malpa Dongri Road, off Jija Mata Road) and Ghatkopar. Shilpa Sabbarwal, Mumbai coordinator of WAYE, says: We not only want to create awareness and but also wish every resident to strongly feel that it is their duty to keep the surroundings clean and green. Every drop makes an ocean that is what these enthusiastic bunch of children believe. They are confident in achieving their objective. Radhika Chandle (19), a resident of Chembur, says: The local residents came forward to sweep the road and segregate the garbage into wet and dry piles. As they go along, help and initiative come from unexpected quarters, they find. A vada pav vendor on Ghatla Road not only helped in sweeping but also distributed goodies to the tireless teens. Murlidhar Patil, a grocery shop owner, said: Their activity has opened my eyes too. Now, I take extra effort to tell my customers to put rubbish in dustbins kept outside the shops or in the public dustbin on our road. But the projects focus is not restricted to cleaning a stretch of road. In some areas like Mulund, work has begun to transform areas that have turned into eyesores over the years. Anjana, the coordinator for the Mulund area, says: The local bodies have accepted the proposal. After the area is fully cleaned, the first step is to develop a lawn and then beautify it with small rocks, flower beds and lastly put a bench for people to sit. United Way has also handed out warning cards so that anybody caught spitting or littering is politely reprimanded. Occasionally, if people refuse to follow the rules, the civic marshals are quickly summoned, to levy a fine. Kunal Kulkarni (19), a hotel management student residing at Andheri, says: Some vegetable vendors in Vile Parle market who refused to stop throwing vegetable peels alongside the road were fined. Once, when I warned somebody, he became so furious that he was about to beat me up. Luckily the marshals came to my rescue immediately. Nudging the average Mumbaiites civic consciousness is Step One. The next step is to make the city greener. Sabarwal says, We have plans of talking to the Advanced Locality Management groups and secretaries of societies to set up vermiculture projects and terrace gardens. Gradually, in the course of time, we will move on to rain water harvesting and other green initiatives. deepa.venkatraman@expressindia.com
