Swachhata selfie point set up at Akashvani Directorate

A ‘Swachhata Selfie Point‘ has been established at the Akashvani Directorate to promote cleanliness and encourage community participation in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. This engaging initiative invites employees and visitors to take selfies at the designated point, fostering a sense of pride in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. By sharing their selfies on social media with the hashtag #SwachhataSelfie, participants can spread awareness about the importance of cleanliness and inspire others to join the movement.

Akashvani’s initiatives under the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign reflect a strong commitment to the health and well-being of sanitation workers. By organizing large-scale preventive health check-up camps, Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs, and yoga training sessions, Akashvani not only promotes physical health but also fosters a sense of community and support among the workers. These efforts enhance awareness about health issues, encourage healthy practices, and ultimately contribute to building a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
