FROM THE EDITOR

   As the new Terminal 3 in New Delhi was being discussed for its size, design, technology and passenger facilities, we, at Clean India Journal, were getting ready to find out how this vast airport of over 5.4 million sqft would be maintained. Repeated visits by CIJ’s Managing Editor Mohana M to the terminal led to a better understanding of the important role the Indian cleaning industry is playing in the overall upkeep of the new and the existing airport terminals. Deployment of a large number of equipment is a forward step. There are multiple building service contractors servicing different areas too. However, the not-so-encouraging revelation was that the housekeeping companies often worked under different types of constraints. Some questions which were raised and which could probably be discussed later were: Is there a need for better co-ordination between the service providers? Are there overlapping of service areas? Is the budget for cleaning good enough? Can the cleaning activities keep pace with the traffic flow? Are there enough trained personnel for specific areas? What is the passenger awareness level in maintaining cleanliness?

   During one of the recent travels to Delhi, I gave to a mother of two school-going girls the copy of CIJ which had focused on school restrooms and maintenance. After going through the magazine, the elder girl asked me, “We too put up with dirty toilets. Even the fans in our classrooms are not switched on. That too in this summer! Often I feel sick. Will you write about this in your magazine?”

   May be we will. We will also look at the various questions that came up during CIJ’s visits to the New Delhi terminals.

  As the magazine’s reach is expanding, it has become necessary to address very many issues which in some way get linked to the objectives the magazine stands for.
