 ACTIVITY REPORT ON “SWACHH BHARAT”

INTRODUCTION:
The central Government of India has launched many schemes from time to time to eradicate
the problem of open defecation completely from rural areas. These schemes include the
Central Rural Sanitation Program in 1986, Total Sanitation Campaign in 1999, Nirmal
Bharat Abhiyan in 2012 and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in 2014. All these mentioned Schemes
of the Central government were focused at completely removing open defecation from rural
and urban areas by constructing sufficient amounts of toilets to maintain proper hygiene
especially in rural areas. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched on 2nd October 2014 by then
Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi in the presence of other respected and important
personalities. It is usually called that Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is just a replacement of Nirmal
Bharat Abhiyan. Like previous Campaigns, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was also aimed at
maintaining proper sanitation and hygiene in both rural and urban areas of the country. The
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was further divided in two sub-categories as “Swachh Bharat
Mission (Rural/Gramin) and Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban/Shahari). As their name
suggests, Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) would be applicable in rural areas only whereas
the Swachh Bharat Mission would focus on urban areas. Bring about an improvement in the
general quality of life in the rural areas. Accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas to
achieve the vision of Swachh Bharat by 2019 with all Gram Panchayats in the country
attaining Nirmal status. Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting
sustainable sanitation facilities through awareness creation and health education. Encourage
cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable sanitation
Develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquid
waste management for overall cleanliness in the rural areas.
