I agree. The key to this is EDUCATION. I remember watching simple cartoons that inculcates civic sense, cleanliness etc. when i was young, in DOORDARSHAN. They were simple cartoons and drive home the message. May be, like we do for cigarettes, the GOVT should impose simple civic message CARTOONS in all the TV channels, which are watched by millions. After all, we are a country which still values humanity, which does not need laws to impose cleanliness. Educate and Eradicate...!!! more

Incidentally I had visited USA & Oman. What is narrated is true & faithfully followed by every citizen as discipline. It is possible even in India if we start making efforts at-least in smaller clusters in cities. People will start copying such good practices. more

I HAVE SEEN SUCH SYSTEMS WORKING IN CITIES LIKE MUSCAT IN OMAN.IN US,THERE IS MATURITY OF CIVIC SENSE;IN THE GULF COUNTRIES,THERE IS FEAR OF LAW.IN INDIA BOTH THE THINGS ARE NOT THERE BUT INDIANS WHEN GO ABROAD,THEY BEHAVE WELL AND ADJUST.WHY CANT WE DO IT IN OUR OWN COUNTRY?SENSE OF BELONGINGNESS AND PATRIOTISM,RESPECT FOR OTHERS AND OTHERS RIGHTS SHOULD BE NURTURED IN US.IF WE DEVELOP THIS SYTEM AND KEEP OUR CITES/COUNTRY CLEAN,THE HEALTH OF OUR PEOPLE WILL IMPROVE AND WE CAN SAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF RUPIES TO BE SPENT ON MEDICINES,HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS AND MEDICAL BILLS. more
