The students of Indus World School in Indore, Madhya Pradesh organized a cleanliness drive to address the issue of garbage piled on a road near their school. They distributed pamphlets to local residents to raise awareness about the problem and invite them to participate in cleaning the garbage. Many residents appreciated their initiative, while some were skeptical. On the day of the clean up, the students cleaned the garbage pile with gloves and bags while also educating children who joined. Their actions prompted local politicians and the municipal corporation to commit to regularly cleaning the area. The students realized the power of their collective action and the importance of ongoing community involvement to create lasting change.

Our actions delivered a huge jolt to everyone, even to the Municipal Corporation. Two of the representatives came over to our school with joined hands saying please don’t do all this, from hereafter, we will clean the heap of garbage everyday. At that moment we realized that we, the children, had the power which could shake even high post officials and authorities. Before After
