Changing the mindset of young boys and girls in Govinda Pala village through salt.

[SUKANTA MARDI]

We first did solo salting with 18 Adolescence boys and girls from Govinda Pala village, then after group salting with them, we did dream building with them. Then we talked to them about what they want to do for the village, then they said that we will build dustbins as the first action.

Reason: - Our Dream Hall Village All People Aware To do Reason We That Every day Something No Something Food Things or Family Need​ Things Market or Shop From Many Plastic At home Bring And Those Paper or Plastic Here There Throw away Give Her As a result To the village To see A lot Bad It takes . Even Pond Even in water Throw away With Water Pollution I am doing That In the water Bath To do As a result We Nana In disease Infected I am . Her With With Farming Also on the land Going , There The land Pollution Are you doing it ? Land Pollution To be As a result We Okay. Crop I get it. No and We I see. Our In the village In plastic Admission . Then I thought. Our Village Dirty Other No Village From People Come Clean By Will give No , So Our Dream It is To the village Clean Keep . This For Village Various In place Dustbin Made By Village All People As if That In the dustbin Plastic Will throw .   The plastics Municipality From Car Come With Will go And They Specific In place Will throw .

We will build dustbins in four or five houses, in the entire village. We will first dig a hole in the ground and then surround the dustbin with a bamboo fence. After building the dustbins , we will tell the entire village that if we throw garbage everywhere, our village is getting dirty, and various diseases are being caused by being dirty, so we want to build dustbins. The villagers will throw plastic into that dustbin instead of throwing it here and there.

We first collected bamboo and then all the children got together to make dustbins. We are now planning to make 8 of them, of which 5 have been completed.

Results: - 1. Villagers have already started throwing garbage or plastic in the dustbins.

2. That The plastics Before Fertilizer Through In the field Would go and Cultivable Land Destruction Did it , that And Will be No.​
3. Village​ Many In place Before Here - there Garbage Read If only , now That Many Less Gone .
4. Now​ Someone Pond In the water Throw away plastic No.​
