Swachh Bharat Campaign

Gandhi Ji’s and His Role on Swachh Bharat

Mahatma Gandhi was a great supporter of cleanliness. He was very much concerned about the dirty roads, streets, temples  of the country. Just after returning from South Africa he noticed very bad state of affairs in India regarding sanitation and cleanliness. He took upon himself to motivate and personally commit towards making the country filth free.  According  to  Gandhi : “So long as you do not take the broom and the bucket in your hands, you-cannot make your towns and cities clean.”.

The Swachh  Bharat Abhiyan in  India  was launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 2nd of October, 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi with an aim to make India clean. It is significant that the PM Mr.Narendra  MODI  himself  took very proactive role in making the campaign a success; at Rajghat he started the campaign by cleaning the street by himself.

Union  Minister Smriti Irani initiated a campaign under the central government's 'Swachh Bharat Mission'.
