Clean India ()
Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi
was mindful of the poor position of Indian rural people at that time and he dreamt
of a cleaner India, where he emphasized on cleanliness and sanitation as an intact
function of surviving. President Pranab Mukherjee in his address to Parliament in
June 2014, said, “For ensuring hygiene, waste management and sanitation across the
nation a “Swachh Bharat Mission” will be established. This will be our tribute to
Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary to be celebrated in the
year 2019”. The Narendra Modi Government will shortly establish the “Swachh Bharat”
movement to solve the sanitation problem in India, to solve the problem of waste
management and make India a clean state, ensuring hygiene all across the nation.
Emphasizing “Clean India” on August 15, 2014 in his Independence Day speech, the
Prime Minister said that this trend is linked with the economic activity of the
state. This missionary work for creating a clean India will be launched on October
2, 2014, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi with the objective of completing
the mission in 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of the father of the
country.
