(On the occasion of Republic Day, The Quint relaunches its campaign ‘Letter to India – Ek Naya Start’ and invites readers to send in suggestions for rebuilding India after a tough 2020.

Dear India,
You are really going through a hard time—economically, politically and environmentally. It is indeed a pressing need for all your citizens to concentrate wholeheartedly to rebuilding the nation.
The conception of rebuilding India must begin at home and from the ground level. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of cleanliness and sanitation. A simple effort by each one of us to not throw garbage and dirt on the streets or into lakes or local ponds will go a long way.
