Moga, November 7, 2017: Following the saying that cleanliness is next to Godliness, CT University organised a cleanliness drive at Moga city bus stand today.
The students of School of Hotel Management & Catering Technology organised this mass clean up drive. The drive saw the participation of around 100 passionate students who were carrying their cleaning kits and dressed up in their housekeeping uniforms. The students were provided with masks, gloves and a broom stick to clear up the trash. The students started the cleanliness process from 12 pm with scrubbers, cobweb cleaners, Brooms in their hands. They cleaned platforms of bus and the pathways. Students motivated the people to put garbage into the trash bins only for that they themselves installed the bins at the platforms.
Mr. Manbir Singh (Managing Director, CT Group) and Dr. Bharat Kapoor (Director, Hotel Management) also marked their presence to support the step taken by the students in the general interest of society.
Mr. Nachattar Singh (Station Supervisor, Moga Bus Stand) said, “Most of the people use buses for their commuting purposes. On daily buses thousands of passengers ply from around 500 buses daily from the city bus stand. The footfall at our bus stand is quite good and thus we all believe that First Impression is the last impression so we should make efforts to keep it clean and hygienic.”
Dr. Harsh Sadawarti (Pro Vice Chancellor, CT University) said that our mission from now on is to continue having such programs so that cleanliness becomes a primary objective of each and every citizen of our great country. This cleaning drive will certainly become a learning experience for the passengers and other people who dump wastes at public places. Earlier, the drive was held at Ludhiana Railway Station.
Mr. Manbir Singh (Managing Director, CT Group) appreciated the efforts by the officers of Moga Bus Stand and students of School of Hotel Management. He said, “Everybody should follow the cleanliness in order to lead their life in the best way. Students have taken an initiative to bring change in the society, everybody should also do so. They have taken a pledge to continue such cleanliness drives in the future as well.”
