Year 1986 - Central Rural Sanitation Programme was introduced, which had minimal community participation. The main goal was to eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2017.

1st April 1999 - Government of India restructured the Central Rural Sanitation Programme and launched the “Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC)”

1st April 2012 - Renamed TSC to “Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA)”

2nd Oct. 2014 - Mr. Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA), which aims to eradicate open defecation by 2019, thus restructuring the NBA. SBA is a national campaign, covering 4,041 statutory cities and towns.

Individual’s involvement in SBA campaign

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was started to make our country clean by involving the citizens. It was clearly declared by our PM that anyone can actively participate in the campaign at anytime, by:-

• Waste Segregation.

• Reduce – Reuse – Recycle.

• Don't indulge in Littering, and don't tolerate it in others. Speak up whenever you can, and stop others.

• Not frowning upon paying your Swachh Bharat Cess and Penalties.

Corporate India’s involvement in SBA campaign

• At the PM’s invitation, the India Incorporation had come forward and joined him in this mission. What is encouraging is that Indian companies did not even wait for the campaign to fall under the mandatory CSR policy.

• CSR schemes have become a statutory requirement for all the corporate offices as per The Companies Act, 2013.

• These schemes are a mechanism through which the Companies invest in activities beneficial to society as a whole.

• Both public and privately-held Indian companies had extended their full support to this cause, even before it was formally brought under CSR.

Penalties

#SHUKRIYA

• The Maharashtra government approved an anti-spitting law. If you now decide to spit on the streets, you will be fined Rs. 1,000 and will have to spend a day performing community service at a public office or a government office.

• However, this is for first-time offenders, and the punishment and fine is higher for repeat offenders. For a second-time offender, the fine will be Rs. 3,000 plus three-day community service, and for repeat offenders the fine will be Rs 5,000 plus five-day community service.

Questionnaire

#SHUKRIYA

We as a group grabbed this opportunity to conduct a small diversified survey, where we asked the citizens some basic

questions relating to SBA

• What is the full form of SBM ?

• What is the logo of Swachh Bharat Mission ?

• Who is the inspiration behind the concept of SBM ?

• What is the tag-line of SBA ?

• Swachh Bharat Run in New Delhi was organized at ?

• How many times have they contributed ?

Survey Results

#SHUKRIYA

• People know what Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is.

• People know what the logo of SBA is.

• People know what the tag-line of SBA is.

• People know who inspired the concept of SBA.

• People are also contributing to the mission at personal levels, but not all of them.

Awareness amongst the citizens is high. However, the mission is not only to make the people aware of the concept, but also to convert this

awareness into action.

#SHUKRIYA

When was the last time you did something big or small to appreciate the selfless contribution of the people who help us keep India clean ?

When was the last time you smiled back at kaka for helping you and your society clean ?

Well, as they say it’s never too late! Here’s your chance to create a BIG difference with a SMALL #Shukriya

Say it because they deserve it…

Observations

#SHUKRIYA

What is #SHUKRIYA ?

• #Shukriya is a campaign we used to express gratitude at a community level towards the little things and people who help us keep our county clean.

• Gratitude being the greatest gift, will always motivate people to get going.

• This campaign is to appreciate and know the kind of hard work they do and to take measures to not keep India dirty.

#SHUKRIYA

Conclusion“Cleanliness is Next to Godliness”

We can surely say that Swachh Bharat will really bring Godliness all over our country in coming years, only if we follow it in an

effective manner.

If you don’t throw banana peel in your house so why throw it on streets. Appreciate the sweepers efforts just like you appreciate

your mom’s.

If our moms are the heroes of our house, they are the unsung heroes of our country. So stop blaming and start taking

initiatives.
