The ‘Clean Mymensingh’ and ‘Clean Sunday’ campaigns are being observed in a festive atmosphere across Mymensingh under the slogan, “Wherever I Am, There Is Cleanliness.”

As part of the initiative, teachers, students, district administration officials, and education department representatives are cleaning the premises and playgrounds of educational institutions every Sunday. The initiative, launched by Mymensingh Deputy Commissioner Md. Saifur Rahman, has already received an enthusiastic response from more than 2,500 educational institutions across the district.

Continuing the program, a cleanliness drive was held on Sunday (August 2) at Shambhuganj UC High School. On the occasion, Mymensingh Divisional Commissioner S.M. Humayun Kabir Sarkar, the chief guest, distributed tree saplings among students.

The event was also attended by Deputy Commissioner Md. Saifur Rahman, Additional Deputy Commissioner Lutfun Nahar, District Primary Education Officer Mohsina Khatun, and other officials from the district administration and education department.

Addressing the gathering, Divisional Commissioner S.M. Humayun Kabir Sarkar said, “A healthy body and a healthy mind are essential for everyone. The government is implementing nationwide afforestation programs to protect the environment. Educational institutions should plant fruit-bearing, timber, and other varieties of trees to make the country greener.”

He added that keeping school campuses clean and participating in tree-planting activities help instill patriotism, environmental awareness, and a love for nature among students. Such initiatives also play a vital role in restoring positive values and humanity in society.
