In Kalaburagi, the Field Operations Division of the National Statistics Office (NSO) conducted a comprehensive Swachhata Pakhwada 2026 drive at Appa Public School. The initiative aimed to foster environmental consciousness among students while underscoring the importance of statistical data in national progress. The event was chaired by Director Hareshwaran K., with Assistant Director Jadhav Sujata Tanaji and Principal Shankargouda Hosmani in attendance.

Key Activities of the Programme

Roughly 170 participants—including NSS cadets, Scouts, Guides, and school staff—took part in tree‑planting, poster competitions, and an engaging quiz on cleanliness and the role of statistics in development. The quiz not only tested knowledge but also reinforced the message that data-driven insights are essential for sustainable growth.

NSO’s Role and Future Outlook

During the event, NSO officials highlighted their survey work, statistical education, and career opportunities in the field of official statistics. By linking cleanliness with data, the program emphasized how accurate information can guide policy and community action. Participants concluded the day by pledging to uphold hygiene standards and spread the spirit of cleanliness beyond the campus.

Societal and Environmental Impact

Such initiatives demonstrate that a clean campus translates into a cleaner nation. When educational institutions collaborate with government bodies, they can instill lasting responsibility and promote a culture of sustainability. The NSO’s drive is a significant step toward achieving the broader goals of Swachhata Pakhwada 2026.
