In honor of the 117th National Day celebration on 17th December 2024, Bumthang Dzongkhag will proudly adopt the theme “Keeping the Bumthang Deyzhi Clean.” This initiative will highlight the importance of cleanliness and environmental stewardship as a shared responsibility to preserve the beauty and sanctity of Bumthang Deyzhi.
Build-Up Program and Key Activities
As part of the build-up programs, a mass cleaning campaign will be launched with coordinated efforts across Bumthang Dzongkhag, involving diverse stakeholders. The planned timeline and expected achievements of this initiative are as follows:
-
Start of Cleaning Activities (8th December 2024):
Cleaning efforts will begin with enthusiastic participation from citizens across the four Gewogs, religious institutions, schools, regional offices, and the Dzongkhag administration. This initial phase will focus on cleaning public spaces, roads, riversides, and other communal areas. -
Mass Cleaning Campaign (14th December 2024):
A mass cleaning drive will be organized, where volunteers will reach every nook and corner of Bumthang Deyzhi. This collaborative effort is expected to result in the collection of nearly 11 truckloads (DCM) of waste from various locations within the Dzongkhag, ensuring that all collected waste is properly deposited in the landfill site.
Sustaining the Initiative
Understanding the significance of continuity, the Dzongkhag administration has planned to extend this cleaning campaign into a monthly program. This long-term commitment will help sustain the overarching goal of maintaining a clean and beautiful Bumthang Deyzhi, fostering a lasting culture of environmental responsibility among all residents.
Call for Individual Responsibility
The Dzongkhag administration urges every individual to take personal responsibility in managing their waste. By following proper waste disposal practices and remaining collectively vigilant, we can ensure that Bumthang stays clean and pristine for generations to come. A cleaner environment will reflect the harmony and well-being of our community.
Your dedication and active participation will be instrumental in making this initiative a success. Together, we can achieve our shared vision of a pristine Bumthang Deyzhi.
Let us continue this spirit of unity and commitment to keep Bumthang clean and green. Let us preach and practice:
