#AbMontuBolega Kyunki Ab Nahi Bolega Toh Kabhi Nahi Bol Payega
Indiblogger in association with
Strepsils has launched an online Bloggers Campaign #AbMontuBolega. The campaign
aims to increase awareness about prevailing social issues in the country, and
help provide a voice, a platform for bloggers to connect with like-minded
people who feel the angst for the same issues. This blog post is a dedication
for the same! :)
Innumerable times, we come across
situations when we know what’s happening around us is totally wrong, may it be
corruption, or someone throwing the garbage around the street, or other issues
ranging from child abuse to deforestation. We want to do something about these
issues and we feel strongly for them, but we don’t stand up against them
wondering if our efforts can make any difference at all…But I believe “To bring
a change you have to be the change”.
While we do not expect the attitude
of the people to change completely overnight, we see an underlying movement, a
wave of awareness in citizens, to support such causes and raise their voices
against them. Here’s a list of causes I support, and I believe we all should
support:
Save Water
We all know water
is precious, but how can we support the cause?
Well, start
right in the morning...
Try to minimize the
wastage of water while you brush your teeth and when you take a bath.
Make sure you
close any open taps if you spot any.
Plant Trees
We know
deforestation leads to many problems, like soil erosion, global warming, etc.
but what can we do about it?! We can’t stop industrialization and prevent
deforestation, but we can make sure we contribute our bit by planting several
trees in and around our neighborhood.

Swachch Bharat
We see a lot of
new initiatives like Swachch Bharat Abhiyan being taken up by the government
authorities. Contribute towards a cleaner nation by making sure you and your
friends do not throw any garbage around.
Especially at
times when you find no bins around, try and keep the waste material to your
empty bag corner, and throw it away later.
In case you spot
anyone loitering, just ask them politely to pick it up and throw it in the
dustbin. Next time, they will be embarrassed to throw garbage around.
Child Labor
Children are the
future of the nation. Better educated youth will lead to higher development rate
for the country… If you happen to come across a child labor, just report it to
the authorities, and they will take care of it.
Contributing
today in small ways will make a huge difference tomorrow. Make sure you have
done your bit and you will feel proud of yourself.
We at IIM Udaipur contribute our bit through our efforts, special mention of the club Prayatna dedicated towards such social causes.
