• Gandhi had freed our nation now it is our duty to free India from dirt.
• I pledge to do my bit towards cleanliness and take out time for this.
• Every year to spend 100 hours or two hours every week towards this.
• I will not litter or allow anyone to litter.
• Starting with me, with my family , my locality , village and workplace I will work towards this.
• I believe that all those countries which are clean are so because their citizens don't litter and don't allow this to happen.
• With this in mind I will take this message from village to village and street to street.
• I will also get 100 more people to take the pledge that I am taking . They too should spend 100 hours to do this and I will endeavor to make this happen.
• I believe that my first step will help make my country clean.
