To accelerate the efforts to achieve universal sanitation coverage and to

put focus on sanitation, the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, launched

the Swachh Bharat Mission that aims to achieve the mission of Swachh Bharat by

2019, as a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary.

Swachh Bharat Mission , is the largest behaviour change campaign ever attempted

in the field of sanitation in the world.

In order to achieve the objective of Swachh Bharat Mission, The Municipal

Corporation Shimla is doing its best by communicating mass pledge message on

Swachh Bharat Mission , Organising Painting competition, Essay Writing Competi-

tion, creating awareness among public and displaying of banner to sensitize mass.

All these events are being organised with the help of school children as it is evident

that the role of students are most vital and moreover, students are future genera-

tion of the nation. Therefore, they can create awareness among people to stop lit-

tering , they can urge the neighbours to use public waste disposal systems or can

make it social issue. Student can touch the life of every citizen and no one is better

ambassadors other then them for such a noble cause. Keeping in view these

facts, M.C. Shimla has approached the students’ of different school to become am-

bassadors of Swachh Bharat Mission. In this regard students of different school’s

DEVELOPMENT OF PARK Building a healthy network of parks in our city is one major way to save and preserve local

ecosystem. Parks benefit everyone in the community. They benefit the economy and also teach

children about the environment and the importance of preserving natural ecosystems. They sup-

port human health and wellness. Parks are emerging as important public health solutions in

Shimla City to spend the leisure time or to get rid from the hustle and bustle of the city life. These

days stress is becoming major contributor to ill health due to busy schedule and shortage of

open space where people can lead their social life.

Keeping in view above facts, Municipal Corporation Shimla has developed parks and

green area in almost all wards to enhance the beauty of Shimla City or to create such infrastruc-

ture within the city which can cater the need of leisure, fun, quality time and to get rid from hustle

and bustle of city life.

at Parimahal to cater the need of people of that area. Total area of said ground is 3271.50 Sqm.

It will facilitate approx. one thousand five hundred people of that area. To beautify the said park,
