When a BJP lawmaker from Madhya Pradesh learnt that a toilet in a school was clogged and students were unable to use it, instead of issuing directions, he decided to take things in his own hands, literally. Janardan Mishra, lawmaker from the state's Rewa district, can be seen unclogging the toilet with bare hands in a video that he later posted on Twitter.

Mr Janardan Mishra bends over the pot, extracts soil that is causing the blockage, uses reed to penetrate through the obstruction and keeps at it till water flows down without a hitch. The same day, he was spotted sweeping the streets in Rewa Nagar. In another video, Mr Janardan Mishra is seen clipping the nails of students at a primary school and explaining to them the importance of cleanliness.

During inspection at another state-run school in Nayi Garhi, when he found out that many students had come to school without taking a shower, he gave them a bath. He is seen scrubbing a student's feet in a widely shared video. As the whole country has come together for one of PM Narendra Modi's pet projects, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, numerous unsung heroes, like Mr Mishra, have been working towards a cleaner India for much longer. Shraddha Shukla, an 11-year-old from Kanpur, swam 570 kms in the Ganga, from Kanpur to Varanasi in just 10 days to spread her message of cleanliness.
