SWACHHATA PAKHWADA 2023 (PS-X)

Cleanliness is an emblem of purity of mind.

-Joseph Addison

QVS always believes and indulges in the affirmative ideas and skills of cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitation, understanding truly the significance, essence, and the great worth of them in the everyday lifestyle. The young and curious minds are consistently encouraged and reminded of the beneficial influence of maintaining proper hygiene. 

 Swachhata Pakhwada is an annual event that is a part of the Swachh Bharat Mission, a flagship program initiated by the Central Government to fulfill Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of a clean and hygienic India. The school has encouraged its queens and the parents to participate in the event and has imparted the motive of the event within them. To support the same cause, a workshop on hygiene and cleanliness was conducted for the parents.

Yet again taking immense pleasure in participating in the events organized by CBSE related to the same theme, QVS took part in various events. The events the school took part in are:

The queens have impressed us with their commendable participation and their work speaks highly of their zeal, enthusiasm and commitment. Through these events, not only did the students learn the importance of hygiene, sanitation and cleanliness, but they also learnt the art of embracing their creativity and skills.

We extend our gratitude to the CBSE for initiating this noble cause and providing the opportunity to contribute to the greater mission of cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene.
