Question

Visit the Municipal Corporation nearest to you and find out which new schemes have been taken up. Discuss in class what you could do to contribute to them.

Answer 1

I visited the Municipal Corporation office nearest to my locality and collected information about some new schemes and public-welfare activities undertaken by it. These include improving waste segregation and recycling, increasing tree plantation, developing gardens and public spaces, improving roads and drainage, conserving water, controlling mosquito-borne diseases, and improving public health and sanitation facilities.

We discussed in class how students and citizens could contribute to these schemes. We can separate wet and dry waste, avoid littering, reduce the use of plastic, save water, plant and protect trees, keep our surroundings clean, prevent stagnant water, and participate in cleanliness and awareness drives. We can also encourage our family members and neighbours to cooperate with Municipal Corporation programmes. By taking such small but responsible steps, we can help make our city cleaner, healthier, greener and better organised.
