I am sure all of you are aware of the success of the ALS campaign. PM's approach to the Cleanliness campaign my recommending known personalities is a step in the right direction. The way I believe it can be taken to the next step is by involving locals which can be very easily done by creating a city wide map on to which locals can upload and geotag their own photos cleaning the neighborhood. This would help in creating a sense of competition between neighborhoods.

1. Ensure that all domestic detergents are 98% biodegradeable

Sir, one request is it possible for all political parties to refrain from putting up buntings, posters, sign-ages to announce their solidarity to party or celebrate special days of their leaders? can we not use that money to feed the poor, towards providing basic amenities?

Hi All, One major problem and cause of dirty roads and buildings is the worst habit among Indians of spitting in public areas after chewing PAAN and TOBACCO and other similar products. Its a major concern specially among states like UP, Bihar, MP and other states. All the public buildings, roads, walls and including major government buildings are painted RED because of this habit. I would like to request Mr. Modi to ban the production and selling of such products

I know Tobacco companies are a source of high revenue and income for the government but some concrete action needs to be taken. Because of the habit of chewing and spitting PAAN, PAAN Masala and other TOBACCO products the cleanliness cannot be maintained. Not matter how many times you clean an area, or whitewash the walls these stupid jerks come and spit again on the walls and roads. Consuming Tobacco products is a health hazard in itself and cause of many deaths in India due to cancer.

All the restaurants, shops, hotels, wedding halls and every other commercial setting must be held responsible for all the garbage that lies in front of their promises. For that purpose police should be given power to issue tickets to the defaulters. Also the policeman who imposes fine must be given 20 or 30% commision out of it so that he does his job with full dedication and without corruption.

Tackling Garbage Disposal is very tricky due to the nature of garbage is quite different in cities & villages. Rural garbage mostly comprises of biodegradable stuff like waste food, remains of plants/crops, dried leaves, cow dung etc. This problem can be solved by exploring & exploiting Waste to Energy methods. Whereas the urban garbage has waste food, dried leaves, human n animal excreta, industrial waste etc. along with huge loads of plastic which is d biggest problem for disposal.

One of the big time sources of producing and spreading litter are the langar organizing people who never dare to clean up the mess after they are done. There should be strictly ordered to clear all the mess that they leave behind. A good job must end beautifully

Tackling cleanliness & tackling garbage are two different sides of the same coin. People in rural & urban areas have same (BAD) habits when it comes to littering the surroundings. Throwing waste paper/ food/ plastic anywhere or defaecating in the open are most common scenes in rural & urban areas.

If we have to tackle THIS habit of littering, we can use the Prize & Penalize method. Reward those who actively practice cleanliness & STRICTLY Penalize those who throw garbage, spit or shit in open.

Idea for Self-funding dustbins and changing culture at the same time- Have a Swachha police force in public places to impose low fines (eg Rs 2-10) issued to people who litter. The policeman must issue a ticket (to prevent corruption) but at the same time should be incentivised (basically earning commission of say 5-10% on the number of tickets issued). The fines earned can fund the dustbins and the swachha police force and change the littering culture at the same time. Win-win for everyone.
