2. Step 1: Feel
There are lots of problem
faced by the students in the
school.
One that troubles most is
Unhygienic practices.

3. Discussion
Further to understand this problem
we discussed various measures :
1. Proper usage of dustbin.
2.Hygienic usage of the toilet.
3. Proper usage of hand towel while sneezing
and coughing.
4. Washing hands before the intake of
food.

4.  Among all these problems,
toilet hygiene is the most
important one.

5. • Hence our
concern falls on
the proper
maintenance of
hygienic
atmosphere.

6. Hygiene related problems
 Improper flushing
of toilets after use.
 Littering the toilet
with used paper.
We visited the toilets and noticed
the following problems.

7.  Spitting & playing inside the toilet.
 Avoidance of washing hands after
urination and defecation.
 Scribbling on the walls.
 Splashing the dirty water on each
other .

8. Step 2: Imagine
We discussed with our mentor
teacher. Many ideas were
suggested for rectifying:
 Creating awareness.
 Seeking the guidelines of experts.
 Collection of cleaning materials.

9. Pasting placards to create
awareness.
 Seeking the cooperation of
scavengers.

10. Under the guidance
of mentor teacher

remedial measurers
were carried out.

11. Step 3: Do
We organized an
awareness programme
for the fellow

atmosphere in the
lavatory.

12. Points that are pondered;
 Washing the hands after urination
and defecation
 Flushing the toilet properly before
and after use.
Disinfection of toilets to control
the spread of diseases.
“Prevention is better than cure”.
Keeping ourselves clean, prevents
many diseases .

Mrs. Jaya Chitra
The nurse gave us an insight into different
problems caused due to the unhygienic
environment
 Contagious diseases
due to unwashed hands.
 Diarrhoeal diseases caused
due to poor sanitation.

14. This session was very
useful to us as it gave a
clear idea about sanitation
and its benefits.
We also had a one-to-one
discussion with the nurse
which helped us to improve
our hygienic habits.

organised to stress
the importance of
hygienic environment
among the students.

for a day; but if you can teach
him to learn by creating
curiosity, he will continue the
learning process as long as he
lives”.

25. We, as toilet-trained
students, have under
taken the responsibility
of keeping our toilets
pristine by adopting the
hygienic toilet habits

Be honest and clean;
Scorn to touch or to think of
The thing that is mean
