It gives me a great pleasure to host today’s event on Clean India Campaign amidst the presence of our most prestigious judges who are chief advisories in the Environment Ministry of India. I hope our efforts in the cleaning and maintenance of our school premises as well as infrastructure would be able to impress our judges and earn a few words of appreciation. Besides, I would also like to deliver a short speech on Clean India Campaign or Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in order that more and more people become aware of it and start observing cleanliness in his/her surroundings and also encourage others to do the same.
Clean India Campaign or what has become the catch phrase for all, i.e. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, is one of the most awarded projects kick started by the Prime Minister of India – Shri Narendra Modi Ji. It was on 2nd October, i.e. the day of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, in the year 2014 that he made an official announcement of this special campaign. This is indeed one-of-its-kind campaign which drew attention of millions of people and received recognition at a national level.
The driving aim behind this campaign was of course to make every region of India, be it rural or urban, Open Defecation Free. Besides this, the aim of this prestigious campaign was to encourage the habit of cleanliness and maintenance of hygiene at all public and private places – whether its streets, roads, offices, homes or public infrastructure across the country. The best aspect of this campaign is to lay stress on cleanliness and the building of public toilets in all colleges, schools as well as public places.
One of the stark differences, which I am sure everyone realizes, is the level of cleanliness between India and other western nations. Do we not wonder at times why their cities remain so sparkling clean and well-maintained? Of course, we need to learn a lot from them and embark on the same path if we want our country to be counted amongst the developed nations in the world.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is needless to say one of the biggest sanitation and cleanliness campaigns being run on a national scale and one of the best parts worth sharing is that over three million public personnel, including school as well as college students came forward to become a part of this campaign. The chief goal of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is to clean our country’s 4,041 towns and cities with a budget of 1.96 lakh crore, which nearly comes down to $31 billion.
The best part of this campaign is that no sector has remained untouched of its influence and even the Indian film entertainment industry has begun to take this project quite seriously. In fact, one blockbuster movie was also made on this subject called “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” starring Bhumi Pednekar and Akshay Kumar. The movie, as can be inferred from the title, suggests the problems faced by women living in the rural region of India, who have no choice but to defecate in open area and the compelling situation of building more toilets in the rural regions of India. It is really nice to see the cleanliness campaign gaining huge momentum amongst the people and bringing in a sweeping change in our society for good.
That’s all I have to say!
Thank You!
