a.
Even before the independence of India, father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi had
said that, “Sanitation is more important than Independence.” He had emphasized the
importance of cleanliness and sanitation in daily lives. However, he failed in his aim
because of the incomplete participation of the people. After many years of
independence of India, a most effective campaign of cleanliness has been launched to
call people for their active participation and complete the mission of cleanliness. The
President of India, Pranab Mukherjee while addressing the Parliament in June 2014
said, “For ensuring hygiene, waste management and sanitation across the nation, a
Swachh Bharat Mission will be launched. This will be our tribute to Mahatma
Ghandhi on his 150th birth anniversary to be celebrated in the year 2019." In order to
fulfil the vision of Mahatma Gandhi and make India an ideal country in the world, the
Government of India initiated a campaign called 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' on the
birthday of Mahatma Gandhi (2nd of October). This campaign aims at completing the
mission by 2019.
b. Through this campaign the Government of India would solve the problem of lack of
sanitation by improving the waste management techniques. Clean India movement is
completely linked with the economic strength of the country. The basic goal behind
the launch of the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' is to provide the country with enough
sanitation facilities as well as to eliminate all the unhealthy practices of people in
their daily routine. The completion of this mission would indirectly draw the attention
of business investors to India, enhance the GDP growth, draw tourists from all over
the world, create a variety of avenues of employment, reduce health costs, reduce
death rate, and reduce fatal disease rate and many more. It has been requested that
every Indian devote at least 100 hours per year to cleanliness in India which is
sufficient to make this country a clean country by 2019. The cleanliness drive also
ensures cleanliness in the official buildings. Spitting paan, gutka and other tobacco
products in the government offices has been banned.
