TidyCity on 20th Feb 2010, conducted an awareness programme at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan School in Trivandrum. This is TidyCity’s first school visit.

Sessions were taken for students of class 6, with the help of presentations, videos and interactive activities.

The event was a big mark for TidyCity and we hope to visit more schools in the coming months.

On Sunday, the 13th, TidyCity started a new campaign called the Bus Ticket Campaign. Volunteers waited at the bus stop outside Museum, and asked the people getting down from buses what they do with the tickets. Though many admitted they discarded it on the streets, they were all eager to sign the campaign and support the cause: never to discard bus tickets anywhere except in dustbins. They also promised to spread the word.

Hopefully, TidyCity can extend the campaign to cover more areas and more objects: we start from a bus ticket and develop it as a habit not to throw away things everywhere.

Those who would like to join this campaign can leave their comments here.
We could add a separate page for it soon.

The rally on October 2 started from Secretariat, Trivandrum, at 5:30, soon after the human chain organized by the CPI (M) was over.

In TidyCity T-Shirts and carrying placards, the small gang started walking. More members joined on the way. Onlookers stopped to read the messages on placards and some asked what this was about. And that exactly was the intention of the rally. To get the word around, to spread the message, to remind everyone about their little duties to the city they live in.

We winded up at Manaveeyam Veedhi by around 6, where the members of Abhinaya and Chilla were waiting for us to conclude our event in grace. The children from Chilla sang enthusiastically, bringing out every word in the songs large and clear for the world to hear: “Ini varunnoru thalamurakku ivide vaasam saadyamo” (Is it possible for the next generation to live here).

Abhinaya too joined hands with TidyCity taking extra efforts and time off from their busy schedule to work with us with the songs and the planning of the day.

Between each song, TidyCity members gave a 2-line reminder to the audience about keeping our surroundings a clean and nice place for the sake of the children who were growing up around us.

We finished the day’s activities with a round of cool drinks, hoping to work together and increase our number to see a healthier world around us.

RJ: October 2nd being Gandhi jayanthi is a special day and we have tidycity here who are going to do something special for Gandhi jayanthi. Tell us what your plans are for the day.

TidyCity member(TCM): Well, we have organized a rally for tomorrow. It’ll start from secretariat and end at manaveeyam road. The close of the rally will be marked by a performance from abhinaya which is a theatre group. We have had such a rally even before, but considering the importance of Gandhi jayanthi, we thought a major event such as this should be conducted on the day. The rally will begin at 4.30pm.

RJ: Alright, so what do you people intend to convey through your activities.

TCM: We just want to spread the message that it is the duty of each one of us to keep our surroundings clean. We want Trivandrum to be a clean city. And every one of us should work together to achieve this objective. We want to create an awareness about the need for a cleaner city through the rally and hope it reaches more people.

RJ: And do you want more members to join up for the cause?

TCM: Definitely, it is open to all and we want more people to take up the cause and work towards it. You can join up by registering on our site www.tidycity.org
