As per estimates, poor hygiene and sanitation facilities cost India 600,000 lives annually due to diarrhoea and other such diseases. As per Government data, India is home to 450 million people who do not have access to toilets and defecate in the open. Not only this, lack of toilets also exposes one third of country’s women to the risk of sexual assault.
Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) or Clean India Mission was launched by Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on October 2, 2014, at Rajghat in New Delhi. This national campaign, initiated by the Government of India, covers 4041 statutory towns across the country and aims to make the streets, roads and infrastructure clean by October 2, 2019, i. e. Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary.
How it is being managed
This mission to clean India’s cities and villages is estimated to cost around Rs. 62,009 crore. It’s the most celebrated scheme of the recent time which aims to combat dirtiness and generate awareness among the citizens of India about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
