Why India Needs Swachh Bharat Abhiyan?
Why Does India Require The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
We all know the fact “Cleanliness lies next to godliness”, it is extremely important for us to keep ourselves and our environment clean to live a healthy life. Our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, empathized with the need for cleanliness and made people aware of personal hygiene as well as environmental cleanliness. In his memory, our current Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Mod,i brought into existence a very necessary drive under the name of “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was a nationwide observance of a tenure of five years from 2014-2019 under our honorable prime minister to ensure the basic hygiene of India. Its main focus was the villages of India where personal hygiene was lacking to a greater extent as there was no existence of toilets, and this drive by the government ensured that every house should have their toilet. Also, it focused on reducing plastic waste and littering waste here and there, mostly in cities, and also ensured mass recycling of non-biodegradable waste. This drive accelerated sanitation and also ensured the healthy growth of the second largest population of the world. Its main agenda was to make India a clean nation and attain new perks of health and hygiene. This was a massive drive by the government.
