write letter to mahatma gandhi on the of contribution towards swattch bharat abhiyan
Answers
Explanation:
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The charge had often been made that the Indian was slovenly in his habits and did not keep his house and surroundings clean. . . . But I had some bitter experiences. I saw that I could not so easily count on the help of the community in getting it to do its own duty, as I could in claiming for its rights. At some places, I met with insults, at other with polite indifference. It was too much for people to bestir themselves to keep their surroundings clean. To expect them to find money for the work was out of the question. These experiences taught me, better than ever before, that without infinite patience it was impossible to get the people to do any work. It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution.”
He became conscious of this reality very early in his life and continued to feel so till the end of his days. He was aware of the fact that the condition of cleanliness and sanitation in India was really poor, and the scarcity of adequate toilets in most of the rural regions required as much effort as was needed to attain Swaraj. He further added that unless we “rid ourselves of our dirty habits and have improved latrines, Swaraj can have no value for us.” He continued his struggle for cleanliness, sanitation and effective management of wastes in South Africa and then in India while fighting for Swaraj in India. After a year of the attainment of Independence in 1947, Gandhi was assassinated but his idea of sanitation and cleanliness continued to be propagated in both letter and spirit.
It was initially an idea but took the shape of a national mass movement after the launch of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. While addressing the citizens of India on Independence Day in 2014, PM Modi talked about of ‘Swachh Bharat’ in his speech. He said, “How do we celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi? – – – Mahatma Gandhi had cleanliness and sanitation closest to his heart. Whether we resolve not to leave a speck of dirt in our village, city, street, area, school, temple, hospital, and what have you, by 2019 when we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi? This happens not just with the Government, but with public participation. That is why we have to do it together.” The scheme came into force on 2 October 2014 as nationwide sanitation campaign, ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ to make India an absolute swachh country by 2019. Modi said that the Swachh Bharat mission is stimulated by patriotism and is beyond politics. This idea turned the thoughts of the people to Gandhi’s idea of cleanliness.

Dear Bapu:
I hope this letter finds you doing good deeds as you always did when you were on Earth. Your life has been an inspiration not only for Indians, but for people from all other countries as well. Happy 150th birthday to you. You are an epitome of many virtues, self-less actions, and peace-spreading thoughts. No wonder you are called Mahatma (The Great Soul) by the entire world. One quality of yours that inspires me the most is the virtue of cleanliness. You taught the people ‘Swachhta hee Sewa Hei’. I believe in it strongly.
You worked so much on sensitizing people of India in the backward areas to personal cleanliness and hygiene. You sent your disciples to far flung backward areas to make people aware of cleanliness. Your cleanliness mission inspired me to work for cleanliness drive launched across the nation. I thank you from the core of my heart for being a role model. I on the occasion of your 150th birth anniversary assure you that I will also work dedicatedly and unselfishly to carry forward the Swachhta Abhiyan that you started long ago.
I promise I will keep myself, my school, my home and my community clean. I will use dustbin and never litter the waste. I will wash hands properly with soap or sanitizers before eating. I will stop wasting water and maintain personal hygiene. I will volunteer shramdaan (my services), wherever required to do cleanliness. I promise I will adopt recycling and receiving waste and promote this culture. The rest is fine. Parnam.
Yours respectfully,
Sameer
