Amar Chitra Katha to bring a special comic book on Swachh Bharat Abhiyan

Amar Chitra Katha would publish a special comic book on Prime Minister's pet initiative Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

The 32-page comic book will carry messages pertaining to sanitation and solid waste components of Swachh Bharat Mission.

The book would comprise a series of inspirational stories from the mission, cleanliness rankings of cities, the public figures and ambassadors, environmental impact, and stories of individuals and organizations that can inspire children to follow the concept of ‘Swachhata’. There will be an interactive workbook of tips and tricks which children can use to clean their own areas. It will also include a section about how to organize community cleanliness drives and what other things they can do to make a remarkable impact on their immediate surroundings.

A memorandum of understanding was signed between urban development ministry and Amar Chitra Katha on Wednesday.

Amar Chitra Katha will be developing and creating the special edition comic book in English and translating into Hindi. In order to ensure large scale dissemination of these stories, MoUD will distribute them through national school boards like CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Navodaya Vidyalaya.
