Khowai District Magistrate Rajat Panth leads a powerful cleanliness drive at Lalcherra Shishu Tirtha Anganwadi Centre, inspiring local residents and Anganwadi workers by personally cleaning toilets and promoting sanitation, civic responsibility, and community participation across the district.
Khowai District Magistrate Rajat Panth conducted a hands-on cleanliness drive at the Lalcherra Shishu Tirtha Anganwadi Centre on Monday morning. His proactive initiative has sparked widespread appreciation among residents and local stakeholders, setting a noteworthy example of public service.
During his visit, the District Magistrate inspected various sections of the Anganwadi Centre, focusing on the quality of hygiene, infrastructure maintenance, and the overall environment provided for children. What truly stood out was his decision to personally clean the toilets of the centre, demonstrating that true leadership begins with action rather than instruction.
The gesture, rare among top administrative officials, left a profound impact on Anganwadi workers, villagers, and local functionaries. Residents of Khowai praised the District Magistrate for stepping beyond formal administrative roles and engaging directly with ground-level challenges. Many described his effort as not just an act of duty, but a sincere commitment to promote sanitation and inspire community participation.
Local villagers remarked that such actions strengthen public awareness and reinforce the message that cleanliness is a shared responsibility. For an institution like an Anganwadi Centre—where young children learn, play, and receive nutrition—maintaining proper hygiene is crucial for safeguarding health and overall well-being.
The initiative has already begun influencing positive behavioural changes in the community. Inspired by the District Magistrate’s example, several residents and local leaders urged the wider public to maintain cleanliness in public spaces, ensure proper waste disposal, and support government facilities that serve children and vulnerable groups.
Anganwadi workers expressed hope that this momentum will lead to better upkeep of facilities, increased cooperation from villagers, and strengthened awareness campaigns across Khowai district. They also emphasized that when senior officials lead from the front, it enhances the morale of frontline workers who strive daily to improve community health and child development.
