In the context of cleanliness, the city of Nagpur has consistently taken steps forward. Various initiatives have been undertaken in the city to ensure cleanliness. In this regard, citizens are invited to participate in the “One Date, One Hour, Together” campaign on January 1, 2024, at 8 AM. The initiative, organized by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, encourages citizens to contribute their voluntary efforts to make Nagpur cleaner, more beautiful, and healthier.
Following the nationwide ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign initiated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Nagpur Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Dr. Abhijit Chaudhari, under his guidance, successfully conducted the “One Date, One Hour” initiative in Nagpur city on October 1. During this one-hour duration, cleanliness drives took place at 74 locations in the city through voluntary efforts.
Building on this momentum, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation has decided to continue the “One Date, One Hour, Together” campaign on the 1st of every month. The initiative is set to kick off on Monday, January 1, 2024, starting at 8 AM. Residents from all ten zones are encouraged to participate actively in this voluntary cleanup drive.
Under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Dr. Abhijit Chaudhari, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has launched a monthly cleanliness program. The initiative aims to clean unhygienic areas, maintain cleanliness, prevent re-contamination, beautify locations, and transform them into selfie points. Citizens, voluntary organizations, and students are encouraged to actively participate in this cleanliness campaign.
The responsibility of cleanliness at public places in the city lies with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation.
