SHILLONG, MAR 6: The Central Bureau of Communication (CBC) Shillong organized publicity programmes to foster a cleaner, healthier, and sustainable way of living, as well as promoting a drug-free society.
The programmes were held in the West Khasi Hills District on May 5
The programmes, held at Pyndengrei and Don Bosco Technical School, were designed to raise awareness about key Government of India themes, such as “Swachhata Hi Seva, Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, Mission Life, Atmanirbhar Bharat & Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”, as well as the vision of “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India).
Both events aimed to inspire active participation from local communities and educate them on these vital national issues.
The first programme took place in Pyndengrei, where more than 60 villagers came together to participate in a community-driven initiative focused on cleanliness, waste management, and environmental awareness.
The event began early in the morning with a cleanliness drive, during which villagers actively cleaned their surroundings, including village roads and public spaces.
Following the cleanliness drive, an informative session was held under the theme of “Swachhata Hi Seva”. Albert Thongni, a Swachh Bharat Volunteer from the village, addressed the participants and highlighted the importance of segregating waste at the household level.
Thongni stressed that individual actions could lead to significant positive changes, not only for the environment but for society at large.
Didimus Nongsiej, the Headman of one of Pyndengrei’s localities, spoke about the critical role of community involvement in maintaining a clean environment. He reminded the villagers of Executive Dorbar’s ongoing waste collection efforts and urged everyone to cooperate for a cleaner and healthier community.
As part of the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative, a symbolic gesture to honour and protect the environment, fruit trees were planted by the dignitaries, including Shri Nongsiej and other prominent community members.
The second event took place at Don Bosco Technical School, where over 50 students gathered for a session dedicated to raising awareness about the “Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan”, or the campaign for a drug-free India.
The session was led by SI K. Mawlong from the Police Department of West Khasi Hills District. SI Mawlong discussed the growing concerns surrounding drug abuse, particularly among the youth. Drawing from his professional experiences, he highlighted the devastating impact of drug addiction on individuals, families, and communities. He also shared real-life examples to underscore the importance of making informed decisions to avoid falling into the trap of addiction.
