“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet” said the father of the nation – Mahatma Gandhi
He devoted his whole life to this endeavour. It is only apt then that 2nd Oct was chosen for the “Swachh Bharat” campaign, which will continue for five years culminating into a “Clean India” on his 150th birth anniversary in 2019.
The Abhiyan ws launched by PM Narendra Modi on 2nd Oct 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi with an aim to make India Clean. The mission and vision of PM Narendra Modi is to provide sanitation facilities to every family including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness and safe and adequate drinking water supply by 2nd Oct 2019.
