Good morning to the respected Principal, teachers and my colleagues. My name is……, I read in class…. First of all I would like say a big thank to my class teacher to give me some time on this great occasion to give my opinion on the big campaign of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in front of you all. It is called that youths of the country are the future of the country. So, as being a citizen, student, and youth of the country I understood myself responsible for the country development and chosen this topic to improve the awareness about this mission among people of India. This mission is also called as the Clean India Mission or Clean India Campaign. It is a big national campaign run by the Indian Government in 2014 on 2nd of October. The date of launch of this campaign was chosen 2nd of October which is the birth anniversary of the Mahatma Gandhi because it was the dream of Bapu to make India a clean India.
The campaign of clean India was officially launched at Rajghat, New Delhi by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi after cleaning the road by himself. This mission is the biggest ever cleanliness drive when approximately 3 million government employees including school and college students took part in the event. The Indian Prime Minister has nominated the nine famous personalities of the India while launching the campaign to initiate this campaign in their own regions as well as bring fluency in the drive. He also requested all those nine personalities to call another nine people to continue this chain (like a branching of a tree) until the each and every Indian gets involved in the mission because it has to be completed till 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
This mission aims to make available the individual sanitary latrines, converting dry latrines into low-cost sanitary latrines, hand pump, proper bathing, sanitation, set up of sanitary marts, drains, soakage pits, solid and liquid waste disposal, increase people awareness about health and hygiene, maintain environmental and personal hygiene. Earlier to this mission in 1999 on 1st April, the government of India has implemented the sanitation programmes called Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) however not was so effective even after launch of incentive scheme called Nirmal Gram Puraskar in order to boost the TSC. Later on 1st April in 2012, the same programme was renamed as Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (SBA) and finally it was re-launched as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan on 2nd of October in 2014.
The main objective of this campaign is to achieve the vision of a “Clean India” by 2019, 2nd of October (150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi). This mission has been declared by the Indian government as “beyond politics” and “inspired by patriotism” to give its credit to all citizens of India. Some other specific objectives are complete elimination of open defecation in every area, eradication of manual scavenging, promotion of reuse and recycling of municipal solid wastes, bring behavioural changes to people regarding hygiene and health, link it to public health and facilitate private-sectors to hugely participate in this mission for capital expenditure and maintenance.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.
Swachh Bharat, Khushal Bharat.
