Notably, NCL invited thematic paintings on cleanliness under ‘Swachhta Hi Sewa’ campaign from employees and non-employees with special focus on school children.

 

The whole idea behind the concept was to mobilize masses up close and personal by creating an immersive atmosphere in homes. This was done by focusing more on participation of children as their participation would essentially involve their parents right from arranging paraphernalia to finality of submissions thereby ensuring cleanliness message etched on minds.
