Pradhans of 16 gram panchayats of Cooch
Behar district which were selected for the Nirmal Gram award
for satisfactory performance in implementation of total sanitary
programme, will receive awards from the President of India,
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, at Rastrapathi Bhavan in New Delhi on
5 May.
Sabhadhipati of Cooch Behar Zilla Parishad, Mr Jnanendra Chandra
Chanda, said that the 16 GP areas of Cooch Behar were selected
for the Nirmal Gram award for their laudable performance in
implementing the sanitary programmes. “Residences of
the villages under these gram panchayats are enjoying the
hygienic facilities following the sanitation drive. The villages
have turned into clean and environment friendly ones. The
16 GP areas were earlier declared as Nirmal Grams (clean villages)
and now they are set to get the award from the President of
the country,” Mr Chanda, said.
The CZP sabhadhipati said efforts are on to turn other GP
areas of this district as Nirmal Grams. All the remaining
GP areas in Mathabhanga-II block are expected to become totally
sanitised soon, he hoped.
The pradhan of Chakchaka GP, Mr Abani Mohan Das, said they
were feeling proud. “This would inspire cleanliness
in villages,” Mr Das, said. He added that owners of
new or under-construction houses without sanitary latrines
would get no cooperation from the GP. “It should be
a united effort to turn a village totally clean,” Mr
Das, said. The 16 GPs selected for the Nirmal Gram award are
Mathabhanga-II (6 GPs), Cooch Behar-II (Chakchaka GP), Tufanganj-II
(1 GP), Dinhata-I (6 GP), Dinhata-II (1 GP) and Sitai (1 GP).
