Swachh Bharat Mission or Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a campaign run by the Government of India as a massive mass movement to initiate the theme of cleanliness all through the India. This campaign was launched in seeking the way to create a ‘Clean India’ target by 2019, 2nd of October, the 150th birth anniversary of the Mahatma Gandhi.
The father of nation, Mahatma Gandhi had always dreamed to make India a clean India and always put his hard efforts towards cleanliness in India. This is the reason, why Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched on 2nd of October (the birthday of the Mahatma Gandhi). To complete the vision of the father of the nation, Indian government has decided to launch this campaign. In March 2017, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has also banned chewing of paan and gutka to ensure cleanliness in UP government offices.
The aim of the mission is to cover all the rural and urban areas in order to present this country as an ideal country before the world. The mission has targeted aims like eliminating the open defecation, converting insanitary toilets into pour flush toilets, eradicating manual scavenging, complete disposal and reuse of solid and liquid wastes.
The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan aims at bringing behavioral changes in people and to motivate health practices, spreading cleanliness awareness among people and strengthening the cleanliness systems in all areas. It helps in creating user friendly environment for all private sectors interested for investing in India for cleanliness maintenance. This mission has an interesting theme of inviting nine new people by each person involved in the campaign and continuing this chain until the each and every citizen of India gets involved in this campaign.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is also called as the Clean India Mission or Clean India drive or Swachh Bharat Campaign. It is a national level campaign run by the Indian Government to cover all the backward statutory towns to make them clean. This campaign involves the construction of latrines, promoting sanitation programmes in the rural areas, cleaning streets, roads and changing the infrastructure of the country to lead the country ahead. This campaign was officially launched by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on 145th birth anniversary of the Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd of October in 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi.
