The drive witnessed enthusiastic participation from trustees, eminent members of society, women, youth, senior citizens, and local residents, all of whom came together in the spirit of community service and civic responsibility.

Vinod Kumar Jain (Kala), Trust President, said, “The Hon’ble Chief Minister’s ‘Swachhata Se Swagat’ campaign is an inspiring initiative that provides positive direction to society. Cleanliness is the hallmark of a progressive and aware community, and no cleanliness movement can achieve complete success without active public participation. Such initiatives strengthen the spirit of responsibility and collective action within society.”
Speaking to the media, Sri. Mahendra Kumar Jain Pandya, Vice President of the Trust, emphasized that cleanliness goes beyond merely maintaining a clean environment; it reflects our values, discipline, and social consciousness. He urged citizens to treat public spaces with the same care and responsibility as they do their own homes and to make cleanliness an integral part of their daily lives.
Speaking on the occasion, CA Kamal Nayan Jain, Trust Secretary stated that cleanliness forms the foundation of a healthy and progressive society. He noted that the true objective of the “Swachhata Se Swagat” campaign is not only to clean public spaces but also to cultivate a lasting sense of awareness and civic responsibility among citizens.
The drive witnessed remarkable participation from trustees, their family members, members of the Jain community, women, youth, and local residents. Through voluntary service and collective effort, participants demonstrated that meaningful change becomes possible when communities come together with dedication and purpose.
At the conclusion of the programme, all participants collectively pledged:
“We will neither litter nor allow others to do so.”
“We will make cleanliness a part of our daily routine and continue to inspire others to do the same.”
The Trust expressed its heartfelt gratitude to all citizens, volunteers, local residents, and community members who supported and participated in the initiative. It also reaffirmed its commitment to organizing similar public welfare and social awareness programmes in the future to further strengthen community engagement and civic responsibility.
