Cleaning Campaign

The Mass Cleaning Campaign at Dewathang town was  coordinated by Jigme Namgyel Polytechnic (JNP) on 22th August 2012. The participant of the cleaning campaign was totally on voluntarily basis and about 200 students has turn out and almost all the staffs has join for the cleaning campaign.

The cleaning campaign was started at 1:30 PM led by our Director.It was started from institute campus towards Dewathang town. The area which was cleaned are Deothang primary school, Zongthopelri area, Road side towards JNP and main town area.

The waste collected was segregated into two, degradable and non-degradable waste. About one full load (tractor) of degradable waste and Non-degradable waste is collected from this small town.The tractor was provided by Thromde for collecting the waste.

The following observation are made while going for Mass Cleaning Campaign:

1. There is drastic drop in the waste in Dewathang town compared to previous years.
2. A lots of people residing in town are giving full co-operation

This all might be due to the awareness of the waste management.

This move was supported by Samdrup Jongkhar Initiatives (SJI), a Cvil Society Organisation (CSO) and staffs from SJI has joined us for this campaign.

Finally the refreshment were served to all the participants.

We the JNP family believes that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" Thanks to the organizer, i have enjoyed a lot in this campaign and i hope same type of campaign will be conducted in future to make Dewathang town a "waste free" town.
