On the 10th anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the transformative impact of the national cleanliness drive. Launched on October 2, 2014, in line with Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a clean India, the initiative has significantly reshaped the country’s approach to sanitation and hygiene over the last decade.
PM Modi highlighted the initiative’s achievements in promoting cleanliness, reducing open defecation, and boosting sanitation efforts in both rural and urban areas. He commended the collective efforts of citizens, government agencies, and local bodies in making the mission a success, transforming Swachh Bharat from a government-led initiative into a powerful people’s movement.
The Prime Minister urged continued commitment to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene as a way of life. He emphasized that the campaign has greatly improved public health and environmental sustainability, marking a significant increase in access to toilets and waste management systems across India.
As the nation celebrates this milestone, PM Modi encouraged citizens to keep up the momentum, ensuring that the vision of a cleaner, greener India becomes a lasting reality for future generations.
