KANYAKUMARI -INDIA- HONOURS

MUMBAI : P. SENTHIL SARAVANA WRITES :

Sir : Here comes an interesting story on, ''the practice of sanitation''.

Sometimes ago. I had been working on In Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu, India. I as an English trainer was with a famous Christian school located in  Kaliyakkavillai in Kanyakumari district, India.

I was used to visiting many interesting places nearby. Of course, all these areas like Kaliyyaavilai,  Marthandam, Nigercoil and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, India are being inhabited mostly by Tamils and Keralites.

The interesting fact is that I was always finding the roads and streets spotless, completely free of human waste. [I am not talking about filth on the streets].

I mean 100 percent sanitary conditions prevalent in these areas like Marthandan and Kaliyakkavilai.

Even children are not allowed to defecate in the open.

It is their inborn culture and their inherent habit that have developed all these good things on the  hygienic front.

The neighbouring Indian state of  Kerala has achieved many milestones in matters of  keeping the environment clean.

The people and authorities in Kerala, Marthandam, Kaliyakkivilai and Kanyakumari have set a fine example  that is worthy of emulation by others.
