SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN

Before administering the pledge for the celebrated Clean India campaign, Modi delivered a short speech highlighting the need of cleanliness to fulfil Gandhiji’s dream of Clean India. In fact, the concerned campaign logo depicts the Father of the Nation’s face that signifies as if late Gandhiji is watching what is being done to fulfill his dream. Modi stressed on the fact that the campaign will never reach its peak if Indians consider it as a government programme only. It should be a mass movement, where people have to change their mindset first and pledge to keep India clean. Even after more than 60 years of Independence from British rule, over 60 per cent of Indians including women still use open air and unhygienic facilities for answering the call of nature. That’s why constructing more toilets has become a necessity. Modi also referred to a WHO report that says every average Indian has to spend Rs 6500 every year due to poor sanitation. If there are hygienic conditions in the country, substantial MONEY    can be saved every year.

SWACHH BHARAT SWACHH VIDHYALAI

According to the abhiyan of Narendra Modi firstly all school should be clean, all children of our country should know the importance of cleanliness because children are the one who catches the good things very fast.

. So this is the message for all that we should keep our schools and surroundings clean .

. We should make a swachh bharat and complete the dream of Mahatma Gandhi.

As we all know that Mahatma Gandhi wanted India As a place of attraction of many peoples.

So he not only expected the contribution of people of India in making India clean. He himself give many contributions in it.

Once Gandhi ji was invited in a function. There he

observed a crowd out of the toilets and see that people were not going inside because the toilets were very badly dirty.

So what do you think what Gandhi Ji has done.

He take the toilet cleaning brush and go inside every toilet and cleaned every toilet of that area.

Mahatma Gandhi done a great work and

everybody was standing with their faces down and full of shame.

And today our respected prime minister of India is

walking on the steps of Mahatma Gandhi and started swatch bharat abhiyan.

Mahatma Gandhi’s Contribution

GOT INSPIRED• "Swachh Bharat Campaign logo is not just a logo, through it

Gandhiji is watching us and we all should clean India. I am not claiming that the newly electedgovernment is doing everything. Be it temples, mosques, gurudwaras or any place, we must take efforts to clean our surroundings. Cleanliness is not only the responsibility of the 'safaai kaamgar', it is the responsibility of 125 crore Indians. If Indians can reach Mars at a cheap cost, can we not clean our neighbourhoods?" I greet all of them for this. Swachh Bharat mission is beyond politics. It is inspired by patriotism and not politics."

• ---NARENDRA MODI

The Clean India Pledge• Narendra Modi started the pledge by stressing upon the fact that

Mahatma Gandhi not only wanted a politically free India but also a country that is free from dirt and garbage. Gandhiji helped us free the nation from clutches of British raj. Now, it is the duty of Indians to free the country of filth. The people present along with the PM took oath of providing free labour of 100 hours per year or 2 hours per week towards cleanliness and also not to litter or allow any other person litter. The work has to start from every individual, his/her own family, village, locality, and workplace. The pledge also urged every responsible citizen to involve 100 more people in the Clean India campaign. Endeavours on an individual basis will help our country achieve the motto of cleanliness.
