The relevance of the Swachh Bharat Mission
Sanitation has emerged as a key issue since the 2011 Census highlighted e glaring data on lack of toilets in the country by stating that over 26 million people in India defecate in the open. Launched with an estimated cost of around Rs 62,009 crore, Swachh Bharat Mission aims to achieve the elimination of open defecation in the country. Among its other objectives are conversion of insanitary toilets to pour flush toilets, putting an end to the inhuman practice of manual scavenging and carrying out Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM).
Involvement of Eminent personalities
Launching the mission, Prime Minster had nominated nine famous personalities for the campaign. They joined the campaign and nominated nine more people. Thus, the momentum has been built with people from all walks of life joining it. Eminent personalities such as Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kailash Kher, Priyanka Chopra and leading sportspersons like Sachin Tendulkar, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal and Mary Kom are part of the SBM.
How far we have come
Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Kerala are the three states that have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF) this year. As per government data, as of December 16, over 58% of Indian households have become open defecation free. According to the Union Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Gujarat and Punjab will achieve the ODF status by March 31, 2017.
Conclusion
Though the government is putting forward its best efforts, yet we have so far not received the desired result on the front of cleanliness. There is need of an attitudinal change on the part of all citizens to fulfil the mission of a clean India in its true spirit
Answer:
Clean India Campaign
By - Ankita
'Cleanliness is next to Godliness' is very apt and true, but not for everybody. 'Clean India Campaign' was started by our honourable Prime Minister 'Mr. Narendra Modi' with an objective to make our country clean. It has not been as effective as it should have been. There are many reasons for this, such as people followed it initially but forgot about it gradually. Many institutions had also started cleaning their surroundings and continued this process. Students also took a keen interest in this campaign and did it religiously but, on the other hand, it was not as successful as it would have been. People had participated in the campaign just for the sake of formality. As far as their own areas were concerned, they were not bothered about the cleanliness. Such campaigns can only be successful if a common man and a student would take some measures. A common man should start cleanliness from his home first. While eating by the roadside or during a picnic, one should not litter on the road or outside the bus or car; rather he should carry an extra bag to keep the wrappers, inside that bag. Moreover, a student can make others aware of the importance of cleanliness with the help of paintings, small plays, etc. It will help people to understand the need for making their areas clean. With the help of such measures, the cleanliness campaigns could be successful.
