CLEANLINESS PLEDGE - Central Public Works...

CLEANLINESS PLEDGEMahatma Gandhi dreamt of an India which was not only free but also clean and developed. Mahatma Gandhi secured freedom for Mother India. Now it is our duty to serve Mother India by keeping the country neat and clean.

• I take this pledge that I will remain committed towards cleanliness and devote time for this. I will devote 100 hours per year that is two hours per week to voluntary work for cleanliness.

• I will neither litter nor let others litter. I will initiate the quest for cleanliness with myself, my family, my locality, my village and my work place.

• I believe that the countries of the world that appear clean are so because their citizens don’t indulge in littering nor do they allow it to happen. With this firm belief, I will propagate the message of Swachh Bharat Mission in villages and towns.

• I will encourage 100 other persons to take this pledge.

• I will endeavour to make them devote their 100 hours for cleanliness.

• I am confident that every step I take towards cleanliness will help in making my country clean.

Don’ts• Don’t litter and don’t let others litter

• Don’t defecate and urinate in open

• Don’t deface public properties

• Don’t spit in public places

• Don’t dump garbage in water bodies

Do’s• Start cleanliness from home

The Genesis of Central Public Works Department

The Public Works Department was formally established in the year 1854

in the sixth year of Lord Dalhousie’s tenure as Governor General. In the

minutes of a meeting held on 12th July, 1854, the Governor General resolved

that a Central Agency be provided by creating an office of Secretary to

the Government of India in the Department of Public Works. The note

recorded by Lord Dalhousie was as under:

“...The organization of the Department of Public Works in the Indian

Empire will be incomplete unless there shall be provided for the Supreme

Government itself some agency by which it may be enabled to exercise

the universal control confided to it over Public Works in India with the

best of scientific knowledge with authority and system.

The Government of India shall no longer be dependent on expedients,

but should be provided with a permanent and highly qualified agency to

assist in the direction of this important branch of public affairs.

I have, therefore, now to propose that such an agency should be

provided by creating an office of the Secretary to Government of India

in the Department of Public Works. The person who holds it should

always be a highly qualified officer of the Corps of Engineers. He should

have the aid of an Assistant Secretary, also an officer of the Corps of

Engineers. His salary I think should not be less than that of the Secretary

to the Govt. of Bengal, namely Rs. 3,000 per month and the salary of the

Assistant should not be less than that of the Assistant Secretary in the

Military Department...”

Col. W. E. Baker of the Bengal Engineers was accordingly appointed first

Secretary to the Department of Public Works-this is the genesis of the

Central Public Works Department.

the challenge of constructing roads on Indo-

Uttrakhand and Sikkim.

It is a matter of satisfaction that under the dynamic

leadership of Shri Abhai Sinha, Director General,

CPWD, we have been able to accelerate the

momentum of our growth and keep our vision and

mission clear and focused in realizing many significant

achievements in the recent past. We have achieved

the same since our officers and staff of all disciplines

worked together in one fabric complementing one -

another’s strength and achievements.
