Guided by CM Yogi Adityanath and Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Asim Arun, the drive will be conducted every Sunday. The initiative aims to instill discipline, cooperation, and respect for labour among students while ensuring cleaner and more vibrant campuses.

Officials said that as part of the campaign, school and hostel campuses will be cleaned every Sunday by the students. Special focus will be on repairing broken chairs, tables, and other furniture, cleaning water tanks and drains, and proper waste disposal. Schools have already been equipped with brooms, spades, buckets, pans, and dustbins.

For the ‘shramdan’, emphasis will also be placed on gardening activities such as weeding, planting new saplings, and preparing compost from dry leaves and twigs. This will strengthen environmental awareness among students.
To encourage participation, schools will be divided into houses, with each house assigned specific shramdan responsibilities. This structure aims to foster healthy competition and motivate students to beautify their campuses. Before-and-after pictures of shramdan will be uploaded using QR codes, ensuring monitoring and transparency.
