Good morning respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends. My name is Keshav. I study in class XII. Today I would like to give a speech on 'Cleanliness'. Cleanliness is very important in our life from all the aspects. Cleanliness means complete absence of dirt, dust, stains and bad smells from all the surrounding areas.
They say that cleanliness is another name for godliness and rightly so. Nature provides us unadulterated and raw natural beauties. But man has been the greatest villain. We have polluted and deteriorated the environment beyond redemption. I would like to remind the students that inspite of various measures taken by the local and school administration, the students are not helping the management in keeping our surroundings clean. They have a stack in keeping the school compound and verandahs clean. But the findings point out to the contrary. It is sad and shocking that some students of junior classes have decided that it is not their job to keep the school clean and tidy. They litter the school compound and verandas with tiffin left-overs. This act of theirs makes the school look unclean and untidy. Some other students have been found spitting around the compound. Others throw garbage and rubbish not in the dustbins placed there but on the floors in the verandas. Some students have been found making pencil or ink marks on the walls of the classrooms. Many of our students, even of higher classes don't observe a decent toilet culture. They don't help in keeping the campus and the classrooms neat and clean.
It is the duty of each and every student to keep the school and its surroundings neat and clean. The school is a temple of learning. And this temple of learning must maintain its sanctity and cleanliness. We should not litter the school compound, verandas and classrooms with rubbish and tiffin left-overs. Let's make and maintain our school a pleasant place which reflects cleanliness, decency and decorum.
