SWACHH BHARAT

Swachh Bharat is a national level campaign announced by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. This campaign aims to achieve the vision of clean India by the year 2019 (five years from now). This mission was started by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, nominating nine famous personalities for this campaign, and these nine people take up the campaign and further nominate nine persons each. Various programs and events were conducted on Swachh Bharat to educate the people of India about cleanliness. A Swachh Bharat run was also organised which was flagged of by the President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee to create awareness among the common public. This campaign launched by the Prime Minister is a very good campaign because clean India means healthy India. Rural areas and slums in the cities of India lack sanitation and are prone to many diseases. Unhygienic conditions is one of the major root cause of diseases. Any disease or illness has financial impact both in terms of expenditure and potential revenue earning. Swachh Bharat Mission will have a positive impact on India’’s health, gradual focus on cleanliness and hygiene will shift focus towards use of clean technology that is non-polluting in nature.

Focus on new technology will lead to new developments and inventions it will also help in generating employment. Swach Bharat mission is not only about cleanliness and hygiene but it also looks at technological development  for the future. A healthy body has a healthy mind, a healthy mind is directly proportional to productivity of an individual. Swachh Bharat mission will lead to healthy India which in turn will lead to increase in individual productivity which in turn will increase the GDP of our country. An ill nation can never be developed, but a healthy nation can always be on the fast track to development and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan can help fulfill this. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan cannot be successful without the help of each and every Indian. We should not look at it as a political gimmick, but we should look at it as a necessity and every person should feel responsible and committed in maintaining cleanliness in our surroundings. In order to achieve the goal of Swachh Bharat each and every Indian should start by keeping their home, surroundings,workplace and school clean.
