Campaign Clean India, an awareness and sensitisation campaign by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India will be launched as part of the initiatives for tourism in the 12th Five Year Plan from April 2012. The Campaign seeks to bring together media, government departments, NGOs, academia and the stakeholders of the travel industry and encourage active participation for promoting cleanliness initially at tourist spots and ultimately, throughout the country.
To chart out a broad consensus on various ways to take the campaign forward, a workshop was organised by the Ministry of Tourism, yesterday in New Delhi. Inaugurated by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, the workshop was attended by a galaxy of central ministers, parliamentarians, officials from various government departments, academia, NGOs, travel trade representatives, and media. Featuring special interactive sessions, the workshop saw five groups – academic, media, corporate, travel trade, and NGOs – meeting separately to deliberate on the measures to be taken at each level to make the campaign a success. The Ministry of Tourism will finalise the campaign model based on the deliberations in the next three months and launch the same from April, next year. While delivering his inaugural speech, Kalam said that only a clean environment could empower the society and the country. He said that an integrated and coordinated effort is required on the part of the different ministries to achieve the objective. The former President also stressed on the need to involve the students of the country in keeping the destinations clean.
