Introduction:
Community:
Often when we think of community, we think in geographic terms. Our
community is the city, town or village where we live. When community is
defined through physical location, it has precise boundaries that are readily
understood and accepted by others. Defining communities in terms of
geography, however, is only one way of looking at them. Communities can
also be defined by common cultural heritage, language, and beliefs or
shared interests. These are sometimes called communities of interest. Even
when community does refer to a geographic location, it doesn’t always
include everyone within the area. For example, many Aboriginal
communities are part of a larger non-Aboriginal geography. In larger urban
centers, communities are often defined in terms of particular
neighborhoods.

Most of us belong to more than one community, whether we’re aware of it

or not. For example, an individual can be part of a neighborhood
community, a religious community and a community of shared interests all
at the same time. Relationships, whether with people or the land, define a
community for each individual.

Development:
The term “development” often carries an assumption of growth and
expansion. During the industrial era, development was strongly connected
to increased speed, volume and size. However, many people are currently
questioning the concept of growth for numerous reasons – a realization that
more isn’t always better, or an increasing respect for reducing outside
dependencies and lowering levels of consumerism. So while the term
“development” may not always mean growth, it always imply change

Problem identification and cause of the

problem:

The main problem faced by many of not being aware of the health, hygiene
and cleanliness playing a major role in their life.
There are no of disease which are virally spread to one another only
because of their carelessness. There are few things needed to do to be
away from diseases which are transmitting very fastly from one to another.
Bathing twice a day, washing hands before eating something, carrying
tissues and use them to catch coughs and sneezes and dispose those issues
as soon as possible and cleaning hands by hand washing or using an alcohol
sanitizer, preventing contamination food with mixing chemicals, wearing
proper washed and dried clothes are some of the little things to maintain a
personal hygiene and have a healthy life .

Poor hygiene can be a sign of self-neglect, which is the inability or

unwillingness to attend to one’s personal needs. Poor hygiene often
accompanies certain mental or emotional disorders, including severe
depression and psychotic disorders. Dementia is another cause of poor
hygiene. Other people may develop poor hygiene habits due to social
factors such as poverty or inadequacy of social support.

Objectives to be achieved:

The main objective which is needed and very important to achieve is to

aware the people how the personal hygiene ,health and cleanliness play a
major role in their life and this can achieved only by motivating the people
by saying them how the personal hygiene , health and cleanliness make

Various steps taken to achieve the

objects:
The only way which student can grasp and think over the topic of whatever
was said is only by power point presentations as it allows us to show them
the some videos and pictures to make them aware of how personal hygiene
, health and cleanliness is so important in their life . these are the topics
which was said to them to make them aware of the motive of the project.

Hand washing
Most infections, especially colds and gastroenteritis, are caught when we put our
unwashed hands, which have germs on them, to our mouth. Some infections are caught
when other people’s dirty hands touch the food we eat. Hands and wrists should be
washed with clean soap and water, using a brush if your fingernails are dirty. Dry your
hands with something clean, such as paper towels or hot air dryers. You should always
wash your hands:
 After using the toilet
 Before making or eating food
 After handling dogs or other animals
 If you have been around someone who is coughing or has a cold.

Bad breath
Good dental hygiene includes regular brushing and flossing. Bad breath can be caused
by diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth, such as infections. Most people have bad
breath first thing in the morning because saliva is not made while you’re asleep. Some
foods that can cause bad breath include garlic and onion. Mouth washes, mouth
sprays and flavoured chewing gum can make your breath smell better for a while, but if
you have a health problem in your mouth, you need to see your dentist.

Travelling hygiene
When travelling overseas, take special care if you’re not sure whether the
water is safe. Suggestions include:
 Drink only bottled water.
 Don’t use tap water to clean your teeth.
 When you wash your hands, make sure they are totally dry before you
touch any food.
 Don’t wash fruit or vegetables in unsafe water.
 If you have no other water source, make sure the water is boiled before you
drink it by holding it at a rolling boil for one minute.
 Make sure any dishes, cups or other utensils are totally dry after they are
washed.

Bathe regularly
 One important personal hygiene tip is to bathe daily. Scrubbing your body
with soaps or body wash helps removing dead cells from the skin. Regular
bathing helps remove all the germs, dirt and sweat from your body. Even if
you do not wish to wash your hair daily, wear a shower cap and wash your
body every day

Clean hair
For long and beautiful hair, an important personal hygiene tip is wash your
hair regularly. Massage oil for dry scalp and wash it with shampoo. Doctors
mostly recommend shampooing twice or thrice a week, depending on your
hair quality. Even if you prefer to keep your hair long, trimming helps you
to get rid of split ends, and give an overall cleaner, healthier appearance.

Brush your teeth twice a day

For stronger gums, you need to brush your teeth in between meals. Brush
your teeth regularly is an important personal hygiene tip to prevent gum
diseases which can lead to other illness and result in further serious
problems. Make sure you brush after eating sweets or acidic foods that
cause tooth erosion. Flossing is also important for keeping your mouth
clean and healthy, and is something which is recommended by all dentists.
Using mouthwash is also an effective way to maintain oral hygiene.

Cut fingernails and toenails

You probably have no idea how unhygienic long nails can be and how they
can create problems in your healthy lifestyle. All the dirt and germs that
accumulate in long nails is extremely unhealthy and harmful for you.
Cutting nails regularly is an important personal hygiene tip for not just
cleanliness purposes but also for preventing hangnails, breakage, and other
potential damage to your nails. Even if you like keeping long nails, make
sure you trim them regularly and clean the trapped dirt.

Stop littering and dispose garbage properly:

We have a very bad habit of disposing the thrash right where we are sitting
or standing. Don’t do that. Don’t litter in your streets, your society, the
woods, the water bodies, or your surroundings. Start with yourself by being
a model example and encourage others to do the same. Throwing thrash at
wrong places never goes away, ever. It will find it’s way to effect you so
dispose it in dustbin only for your own good.

Sort your Garbage:

Sorting garbage seems like a mundane task? tedious task? Well, it’s one of
the most effective way of controlling the garbage disposal crises of the
world. Sort them into two categories (Biodegradable and non
biodegradable). How simple is that! Once you start implementing then
encourage your neighbors to do the same, you will see a drastic change in
the environment contamination condition because by proper thrash sorting
biodegradable garbage can be broken down thus reducing thrash

Consume what you need:

Need and requirement are two different things. Here moot point is not how
much you can pay for your usage but it’s about how much is left over this
planet for an individual and how much we can consume. Excess use of
anything will only decreases its availability and will go waste. Consider
bigger picture and act accordingly
