9 Civic Sense Basics for every Indian

9 Civic Sense Basics for every Indian: Having identified them, what should be next move to tackle them !? This has come to my mind: 01. For checking persons spitting, urinating, toileting (self or children), loitering in public places and roads in one way or the other ---all citizens may be compelled to carry a small pocket size logbook (just as their driving license, PAN card, others) with them. ---all citizens holding AADHAAR CARD, DRIVING LICENSE, PAN CARD or any other ID to prove their citizenry may be awarded privilege to check such irresponsible persons and to record in their logbooks the incidence of offence with details such as place, date, time, location, nature of offence, witness etc. ---Members belonging to social organization, students, any one interested to serve his / her city or town may be asked to usher the responsibility. Packages of Incentives may be designed to motivate them, if the need may be i.e. ---These privileged persons may be authorized to collect fines from them and deposit the collection in to nominated bank accounts of municipality / nagar or village panchayat on a daily / weekly basis. ---The culprits may be dishonored / defaced / humiliated per norms such as public uproar, publishing their photographs in actions in news papers and media, informing their work places such as employers, bosses, friends, schools, colleges etc. Their photographs be displayed in public places such as gardens & parks, bus stations, railway stations, airports, market places, malls etc. etc. for a period of week or two. ---The culprits with more than three such recordings on their logbooks be punished to serve the society per award of punishment of 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 hours of cleaning public toilets, sweeping roads; collecting, carrying and dislodging rubbish, garbage etc. to the identified destined places. ---such recordings may be considered with due weightage while evaluating persons for advancement in their lives such as graduation, job change placements, increments and promotions etc. In short, these and other such remedial measures must be thought of in all seriousness.

Lets imbibe this our self, I practice it daily, I have made my 5year old son aware and he too follows the above points, lets make a difference in our own way. I have been able to influence my maid to a small extent. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. more  

I absolutely agree to the above mentioned 9 points to observe for cleanliness. But lets just take the case of our maids who work for us. They with their family live in one room chawls where there may be a small bathroom but no latrine. They have to go out near the railway lines or roads to attend to nature's call. How can we expect them to follow the above rules when we can't even give them a hygienic existence. First homes for the poor, even within cities, then education and proper income, only then can we expect a Swachh Bharat! Till then the above rules can only apply to the better income group. more  

The government must ban the use of plastics bags in big departmental stores or cloth stores; slowly this ban can be extended to other medium and small shops too. . We on our part can carry jute carry bags from our houses when we go to the departmental stores to buy provisions or vegetables. We can keep one or two jute or cloth bags in our vehicles so that we can use it when we do an unplanned shopping too. One of the suggestions given in the 9 points of civic sense is very important-- that of carrying a paper bag for keeping our wastes when we are on the move, instead of throwing it on the road or open places. We do these things in places like Singapore where there is a heavy fine for littering, but change 360 degrees as soon as we reach our "motherland". A big change of attitude is necessary for the success of the wonderful initiative of our PM Modiji for a 'CLEAN INDIA', AND THIS MUST COME SOON. more

Self help groups should work towards creation of awareness among the people the various factors of civic sence. more
