Central Railway Marks Gandhi Jayanti With ‘Swachhotsav’ at CSMT, Showcases Senior Citizen Coach as Month-Long Drive Begins

The showcase underscored a plan to carry forward Swachhata work through October under Special Campaign 5.0.

Overview

  • General Manager Vijay Kumar led tributes at CSMT and reviewed EMU rakes decorated with Gandhi-themed murals and Swachhata slogans.
  • A luggage coach was redesigned as a Senior Citizen compartment with seven reserved seats, anti-skid flooring, grab handles, stainless-steel partitions and vinyl wrapping.
  • Cultural outreach included a street play on “Swachhata Hi Seva Hai,” a Waste-to-Art exhibit, a Gandhi mural selfie point and distribution of Swachhata Oath pamphlets to commuters.
  • Central Railway said Special Campaign 5.0 will run from October 2–31 to focus on sanitation, e-waste disposal, office and station beautification, digitisation, public feedback and scrap disposal for revenue.
  • The Gandhi Jayanti activities follow the October 1 launch of Swachhata Pakhwada, when a mass pledge at CSMT committed staff to 100 volunteer hours a year under the national Swachhata Hi Sewa drive.
