Swachhata Pakhwada 2026
The Elisabeth Gauba School organised the Swachhata Pakhwada in the school, from 1st to 15th September, 2026, promoting cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and responsible waste management among students and the school community.
Swachhata Pakhwada activities commenced with a Swachhata Shapath, followed by awareness activities among the students from classes Nursery - V, highlighting the importance of cleanliness.
Swachhata Participation Days included activities like 'Hand Wash Days' to sensitise students about proper handwashing, water conservation and safe hygiene practices. Students also participated in creative activities like slogan writing, essay writing, painting, quiz, debate, skit, poem and model-making competitions based on the theme of Swachhata or cleanliness. A Swachhata School Exhibition was also organised, where students displayed models and exhibits using recycled and waste materials. Personal Hygiene Day focused on healthy habits such as regular bathing, keeping nails clean, wearing clean clothes, brushing teeth twice a day and maintaining hygienic toilet and drinking-water practices.
The campaign also included community outreach activities. The fortnightly activities concluded with Principal, Mrs Monica Ahuja Rao, awarding the certificates to the students of the school.
The Swatcchata Pakhwada activities succeeded in fostering a sense of cleanliness, responsibility and environmental awareness among the school students and encouraged them to make Swachhata a regular part of their daily lives.
