               Swachh Bharat: Picking up a clean habit

Halfway into the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA), grassroots leaders like sarpanches, especially women, are playing an increasingly pivotal role in accelerating progress. Since the launch of the programme in October 2014, sanitation coverage in India has gone up from 42% to 62%, the number of people defecating in the open in rural India has come down from about 550 million to about 350 million, with 175,000 villages, 120 districts and three states becoming open defecation-free (ODF). SBA is now well on track to achieve an ODF India by October 2, 2019..The campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is India's largest cleanliness drive to date with 3 million government employees, school students, and college students from all parts of India participating in 4,041 statutory cities, towns and associated rural areas.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today exhorted people to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi`s vision of Clean India. Launching the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan at Rajpath in New Delhi, the Prime Minister paid homage to two great sons of Mother India, Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, on their birth anniversary.He recalled how the nation`s farmers had responded to Shri Shastri`s call of "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan," and made India self-sufficient in food security. He said that out of Gandhiji`s two dreams – Quit India, and Clean India, the people had helped to ensure that the first became a reality. However, the second dream – Clean India – still remained unfulfilled.
