The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment's Department of Social Justice and Empowerment organized a special awareness session titled 'Swachhata se Sabhyata' in collaboration with the Brahma Kumaris organization. The session was held as part of the Swachhata Campaign 6.0 observed across the country, with its focus on Jan Bhagidari (public participation).
Sister Vidarthi of the Brahma Kumaris addressed officers and staff, speaking about the connection between inner values and the cleanliness of one's surroundings. She cited the principle 'Jaisi Awastha, Waisi Vyavastha', explaining that a person's state of mind shapes the order they create around them, whether at home, in the workplace or in the wider community. Referring to the maxim 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness', Sister Vidarthi encouraged participants to regard cleanliness as a practice rooted in self-respect and inner purity, alongside their civic responsibilities.
She emphasized respect for nature, social sensitivity and simple living, observing that lasting physical cleanliness is supported by cleanliness in thought, speech and conduct. Sister Vidarthi also highlighted recycling as a practical habit that promotes responsible use of resources and contributes to better waste management. At the conclusion of the session, officers and staff of the Department reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining cleanliness in their workplaces and communities throughout the year.
