ABSTRACT
When we visit a playground, we might not think about the factors that combine to make this
environment pleasant and safe. A ground that is clean and well-maintained offers a safe and enjoyable
place for people to visit for playing sports, or just relaxing on an outdoor bench. Keeping the premises
clean can be every visitor's job, which helps contribute to a more welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness
helps us stay refreshed and hygienic on a personal level. Further, it lessens the chances of any viruses or
bacteria to harm us. When we stay clean and keep the environment clean, we are less likely to fall ill.
We can enjoy good health and lead an active lifestyle. We must all do our part to maintain cleanliness in
our life. There are many initiatives launched by the government to practice cleanliness but it won’t work
unless all of us do. It helps in inculcating good habits in citizens of the country. Along with practicing it
ourselves, we must also prevent others from disturbing cleanliness.

 AICTE ACTIVITY

INTRODUCTION
A playground is a place where people come to spend their leisure time by playing or jogging or by doing
any other activities. A ground can be of different size and it plays a very important role in society. They
help people to stay healthy and fit. Staying active reduces the chance of physical illness. It also reduces
stress and makes people happy. People meet their friends and spend quality time there. Playgrounds are
a safe place for children where there are no vehicles and they can play there safely. Maintaining a clean
environment reduces pollution, preserves our biosphere, protects endangered species, and also helps
preserve the earth's natural resources. In society, the state of cleanliness represents the mindset. One of
the most important features of a good playground is cleanliness. No matter how big a park is, it requires
regular attention to keep it in shape for your enjoyment. There are many people who work hard to make
them so hygienic. People who visit eventually litter plastic materials which sometimes get mixed with
the sand, creating hours of work cleaning them up. Everybody loves a clean environment but very few
are willing to maintain cleanliness. The ability to ensure cleanliness and perform it requires a lot of work.
Due to the importance of cleanliness, most people struggle to keep their environments clean at all times.
It can be a habitual process as it requires to be done on a daily basis. Personal hygiene for example is an
essential aspect of an individual’s life because it affects social relations, self-perception and health in
general. It is therefore important to practice cleanliness at all times.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY WITH PHOTOGRAPHS

Outdoor time is important for young, developing minds. Those who don’t have backyards often utilize
local resources to have fun. Still, cleanliness is a top priority for parents bringing their kids to public
playgrounds. Find out how to keep your parks and playgrounds clean so you can guarantee the public
that it’s safe to visit. To encourage people to take care of their own waste, place trash cans throughout
the playground. Visitors are likely to arrive with snacks or other items that come with wrappers. To stop
people from littering those items onto the ground, one should provide waste disposal facilities.
Traditional waste such as stone, twigs, and dirt are easy to clean. One disadvantage of using these
resources is that harmful materials like metal and glass can hide in them. Use synthetic materials made
from recycled rubber or other resources to give your surface a more consistent appearance. As a part of
AICTE Activity points, I visited Thota Playground in Gandhi Nagar, Bengaluru and involved in
cleaning the premises and awareness program on importance of clean environment. It was a great
experience and explored a lot.

CONCLUSION
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Clean the surroundings help us to be healthy and peaceful. It is our
foremost duty to keep our environment clean and healthy. We can do so by participating in the drives
like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Plant more and more trees and go green. Clean environment gives clean
pollution free air to breathe. By having a clean environment, we indirectly have eliminated mosquito
larval habitats, people will be saved from diseases like dengue and malaria. We all should do our bit to
maintain cleanliness in the areas we live or visit. In fact, for this very purpose, the Government of India
has initiated the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan so as to educate and inculcate good habits among the citizens
of the country with regards to cleanliness. We should also be mindful towards this habit. We should stop
others from throwing waste at undesignated places. It is the cumulative effort of all of us which can help
us build a clean India someday. The importance of cleanliness and its impact on the person should be
taught to everyone from an early age. From picking up wastes on the floor to cleaning yourself to proper
cleaning methods should be trained for their own well-being. Cleanliness is not only a good habit, but
also reflects the inner beauty of a person. cleanliness is a huge responsibility that requires commitment.
The impacts of a clean environment on the performance and achievements should be a motivating factor.
If you love a clean place, it should be your responsibility to keep it hygienic.
