The Union Government has launched yet another campaign to make India clean. The Swachhta Hi Seva (cleanliness is service) campaign has now been introduced as a nation-wide fortnight-long sanitation drive. The campaign will be highlighting Modi government’s flagship cleanliness initiative Swachh Bharat Mission.
“Swachhta Hi Seva” Campaign is an unprecedented campaign to highlight, once again, the jan aandolan that is the Swachh Bharat Mission. This follows an impassioned call by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, ahead of the 3rd anniversary of Swachh Bharat Mission that falls on 2nd October, 2017. The objective of the campaign is to mobilise people between 15th September and 2nd October, reigniting the “jan aandolan” for sanitation. Union Ministers, MLAs, MPs, iconic celebrities of India, sports stars, inter-faith leaders, corporates, etc. have been appealed to join in this campaign towards swachhta.
