The State Bank of India (SBI) recently led a cleanliness campaign at the Kannagi Government Girls Higher Secondary School in Villianur. The initiative was part of the “Swachh Utsav – Swachhata Hi Seva 2025” campaign, which was directed by the Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance. The campaign aimed to promote cleanliness and hygiene in the school premises.
Volunteers from the SBI’s Villianur branch participated in the cleanliness drive, which was a fortnight-long event. The campaign concluded on Gandhi Jayanti, a significant day in India that commemorates the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including M. Natarajan, Regional Manager of SBI Regional Business Office in Puducherry, and Rajadurai Venkatesan, Branch Manager of SBI Villianur.
The cleanliness drive was a collaborative effort between the SBI and the school authorities. The participants worked together to spruce up the school premises, making it a cleaner and more hygienic place for the students. The campaign was also an opportunity to promote the importance of cleanliness and hygiene among the students and the community.
The “Swachh Utsav – Swachhata Hi Seva 2025” campaign is a part of the larger Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative, which was launched by the Government of India in 2014. The campaign aims to promote cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitation across the country, and to make India a cleaner and healthier place.
The SBI’s initiative to lead a cleanliness campaign at the Kannagi Government Girls Higher Secondary School is a positive step towards promoting cleanliness and hygiene in the community. The campaign not only helped to improve the school premises but also raised awareness about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene among the students and the community. The event was a success, and it is hoped that it will inspire others to take up similar initiatives in the future.
