SwachhAbility Run 2016

SwachhAbility Run (Major DP Singh)

JK Cement SwachhAbility Run

The Swachhability run, 2016 started on November 27 from Chandigarh and Noida on December 4 to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 rd December) across the world. Based on a unique theme of A Run for All and Cleanliness by All, it motivated the people with disabilities to challenge their weakness and overcome it, alongwith contributing towards the national cause of Swachh Bharat.

Planning about this big event since May, 2016, Major DP Singh felt dejected as people who were to join them, started backing out by the beginning of September. But something pushed him to go ahead with the idea. Expressing it in his words, he says Then I realised that perhaps they were to join me till here only. And if I am supposed to walk alone, so be it. I preach to the world that .If you wish to give up something, Give up Giving up. , so how can I myself give up?

Taking it as God’s way of testing him, he remained firm on his beliefs and destiny smiled on him. He met Col Rajnish Kapur of JK Cement Ltd and shared with him his desire. Col Rajnish did not give a second thought to express his interest in joining hands with him. Planning started again from a new end to scale up the solo event to a level where masses were to be involved and a life time experience was to be given to the public of 7 cities.

Many other big brand names like Delhi Dynamo FC, T 10 sports, Proton sports, Fast and Up, Clean planet, Flags of Honour, Chandigarh Spinal Rehab, Endolite India Pvt Ltd and mightiest among them THE GREAT INDIAN ARMY, extended their support and Swachhability Run became the biggest event of his life.

The run targeted small cities where no platform existed giving a wonderful opportunity to 400 divyangs alongwith general public. They also lead the Swachhta drive with a motive of clean India which further boosted their morale. Students of 70 schools were involved in the campaign to create an awareness among them regarding the cause. Martyrs, Veer Naris and mothers of martyrs were honoured arousing a feeling of patriotism among everyone.

Recalling the days devoted to Swachhability Run, Major DP Singh remarks, To me these 7 days were like a pilgrimage. An opportunity to pay homage to our martyrs, to pay respect to our Bharat Maa, to bring equality among children of this mother earth, to give platform to Divyangs to showcase their subdued Ability, to let all understand that change is brought by initiating it by self, to sensitise kids to shape up better tomorrow, and end each day by a pledge and beloved national anthem.

Pardada Pardadi Half Marathon

Pardada Pardadi Major DP Singh

On 4th September, 2016, Major DP Singh paid a visit to Pardada Pardadi Educational Society, Anoopshahar participating in a half marathon and interacting with the female students. He spent the day imparting lessons he has learnt from his own life experiences, encouraging the the girls to get over the problems hurled at them and win the race of life.

Pardada Pardadi unshackles the girls from the society contraints and endows them with the arms of confidence and knowledge so that they can be self reliant in whatever they do in their life. Major DP Singh was very much moved by the man behind the vision, Mr. Virendra (Sam) Sinthumb.jpggh, a 76 year old NRI, who left his cushy job in USA and came back to his roots to empower the girls of his village. He aims to give them best of education without losing the values of our culture.

He is not only educating girls but also empowering females of around 63 villages around his own village Bichaula. The 3.5 km road leading to his village is well lit and in an almost no electricity area, he uses solar power to light the lamps around this stretch of road.

Major DP Singh could relate himself to the words said by Mr. Virendra Singh “Let me do whatever I can do to bring the change instead of cribbing about system”. He further added “If each one of us start doing even small bit, we can transform the world. That small may be as small as not littering around, preserving water and environment. If not anything else, atleast, taking care of ethics and value system of our culture, to pass on the healthy tomorrow to our kids.” Major DP Singh felt honoured meeting such a great teacher and getting to know the enriched legacy he has built.
