SWACHH BHARAT
MAJOR
INITIATIVES OF SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN
On
2nd October 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched throughout length and
breadth of the country as a national movement. The campaign aims to achieve the
vision of a ‘Clean India’ by 2nd October 2019. Shri Narendra Modi said “A clean
India would be the best tribute India could pay to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150
birth anniversary in 2019”.
By
inviting people to participate in the drive, the Swachhta Abhiyan has turned
into a National Movement. A sense of responsibility has been evoked among the
people through the Clean India Movement. With citizens now becoming active
participants in cleanliness activities across the nation, the dream of a ‘Clean
India’ once seen by Mahatma Gandhi has begun to get a shape.

is very low only 23 out of 33 houses (70%) used existing toilets. Majority of
the people are practicing open defecation, even those who have toilets in their
houses. The reasons are lack of water connection or non-construction of septic
tanks to collect the waste.

Almost all the houses
had bathrooms built outside the house. Some with no roof and others are
partially built structures.

There are some houses
which have toilets partially built and used as store rooms.
