Myself Krishna Kumar Dubey, Rajyapuraskar Rover of Santragachi South Group, South Eastern Railway BSG. On 74th INDEPENDENCE DAY I took pledge that " I promise that I shall give my full support to make my country plastic free and fit India." This is an initiative by BS&G. Fit INDIA Movement was launched by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi at Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi on 29 August 2019 (National Sports Day). Fit India was founded by Shri Suparna Satpathy in year 1993 and it was incorporated as a company in year 2000. A committee has been formed to advice government on this campaign. It is composed of various government officials, members of Indian Olympic Association (IOA), national sports federations, private bodies and fitness promoters. As per union HRD department directive states and union territories can request for funds as per guidelines to procure listed fitness items for children studying in government schools. The equipment purchased from the grants are to be maintained in workable condition by the authorities concerned. It is also mandated to keep record of working, repairable and damaged beyond repair equipment. The schools are also allowed to include their traditional and regional games. Plastic Free INDIA is also another topic. 40 per cent of an estimated 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste generated every day in India remains uncollected, informed Union Environment and Forest Minister Prakash Javdekar in the Lok Sabha. He said, “India generates anywhere between 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day, out of which 40 per cent goes uncollected.” The minister noted that the collection of the plastic was a key issue to address environmental concerns as the uncollected waste continues to damage the environment for several years. He also said that the demand of plastic has also increased significantly in the past few years due to the increased use of plastic in the fast-moving consumer goods sector. He adds, “Approximately 15,384 tonnes per day, which is 60 per cent of the total waste, is collected, but the remaining 10,556 tonnes per day of the plastic waste remains littered in the environment as it is not collected. If rules need to be changed, we can discuss it. Plastic has become a big problem in the country.” Minister Prakash Javdekar informed that he will be calling a meeting of state environment ministers next month for better implementation of plastic waste management rules which were notified in 2016. #Plasticfreeindia #FitIndia #BSGIndia #BSGNHQ
