The gram panchayats encouraged the school children to be Swachtha champions in their respective localities. The speakers said that the campaign was one link in the chain of a mega process of behavioural change when it comes to Swachtha. They said that there was a need to adopt a multi pronged approach to make the district Reasi garbage free. This process demands the cooperation of all stakeholders in civil society.
