Everyone might have heard about the Swacch Bharat mission that was launched on October 2nd as a tribute to Gandhiji. It’s aim is to attain Gandhiji’s dream of clean India by his 150th birth anniversary in 2019. The PMO officials started off with the clean up drive even earlier to that. On October 2nd clean up drive was organised in various places. Modi ji even came out with a new plan, Swacch Bharat challenge where he challenged 9 celebrities to work towards Clean India. He also asked them to nominate 9 other people to join this mission and continue the chain, inspired by the famous ‘Ice bucket challenge’.
In the area where I stay currently, Mata Amritanandamayi Math took the initiative to clean the nearby places as part of Swacch Bharat campaign. I took part for the same with several college staff members and ashramites. Places covered was from Amrita Sethu to Vallikavu.
As part of the Swacch Bharat mission our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has quoted some points:
Let every citizen pledge to contribute 100 hours a year towards cleanliness.
Vision of solid waste management and waste water management through the PPP model in 500 towns and cities across India.
Government offices to upto Panchayat level to conduct cleanliness drive from September 25th till Diwali.
Swacch Bharat a mass movement, and linking it to economic activity.
Our prime minister Sri. Narendra Modi has urged all the citizen to pour in their suggestions regarding this mission. We have the commitment to make this mission as perfect as possible and I take the initiative to consolidate few of your comments and send it to our prime minister. Please feel free to give your valuable comments and help to create a clean India 🙂
