"Project Brahmank reaffirms its commitment to contributing towards nation-building through cleanliness and sustainable practices - Ministry of Defence"

Pasighat, October 2

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti and in alignment with the vision of the Swachh Bharat Mission, Project Brahmank of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) launched a month-long Swachhata Abhiyan on October 2 at Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. The campaign will continue till October 31.

According to the Ministry of Defence PRO, the drive was inaugurated at 0600 hrs under the leadership of the Chief Engineer, Project Brahmank. A total of 85 participants, including officers, JCOs, supervisors, and subordinates, took part in the inaugural cleanliness drive held within the Project Brahmank campus.

The statement stated that the initiative focuses on maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene across the Headquarters complex, officers' family accommodation, other residential quarters, messes, vehicle parking areas, and the surrounding premises.

The Ministry of Defence stated that the primary aim of the programme is to ensure a clean, hygienic, and plastic-free campus environment, in line with the national vision of a 'Clean India' as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi. By reinforcing values of discipline, collective responsibility, and community participation, Project Brahmank reaffirms its commitment to contributing towards nation-building through cleanliness and sustainable practices.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Culture on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the Stitched Ship Project - INSV Kaundinya, an initiative aimed at reviving India's ancient maritime traditions and craftsmanship.

In a social media post on X, the Ministry of Defence said that the project is centred around INSV Kaundinya, a traditional wooden sailing vessel constructed without the use of modern welding or riveting techniques. Instead, it uses the age-old "stitched ship" technique, a unique form of shipbuilding indigenous to India."Ministry of Defence &@MinOfCultureGoIsigned an MoU for the Stitched Ship Project - INSV Kaundinya.

Starting at 6 AM shows real dedication! This is what Gandhiji would have wanted - action over words. Hope this inspires similar drives across other BRO projects in border areas. Cleanliness is next to godliness, especially in sensitive regions like Arunachal.

While I appreciate the cleanliness drive, I wish there was more focus on involving local communities. These initiatives would have greater impact if local residents were also participating and taking ownership. Still, a good start!

BRO setting examples as always! From building roads in toughest terrains to now leading cleanliness drives - true nation builders. The plastic-free campus goal is particularly important for our environment. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Wonderful to see our armed forces leading by example. Cleanliness drives in border areas not only improve hygiene but also boost morale. Hope this becomes a regular feature, not just a one-month campaign.

Impressed by the comprehensive approach - covering residential areas, parking, and entire premises. The BRO understands that cleanliness is about overall environment management. Great work!
