Caring for my Neighborhood
Introduction: Our neighbourhood is the place where we live in and it is an important part of our life. It is our responsibility to
keep it clean and hygienic to live a healthy life.
Various initiatives has been taken at different points of time for keeping our neighbourhood and our locality clean.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is one such national campaign initiated by the Government of India to clean the streets and roads of
our Country. The campaign was officially launched on 2 Oct 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi. The campaign was launched by the
Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself and it is considered the biggest cleanliness drive ever in India.
The campaign covers the guidelines for construction of sanitary latrines for households, creation of facilities for bathing,
sanitation and washing for women and others and construction of drains, soakage pits, solid and liquid waste disposal systems.
The objective of the campaign is to grow a healthy sanitation process, to have scientific collection/processing/recycle/reuse of
municipal wastes across the country.
The campaign has opened eye for many showing that there is no basic facility of sanitation at most of the towns and villages of
India. People bathe and wash in open and dump the wastes on road which lead to an unhealthy life style. The campaign has
taught us that we should have basic sanitation systems at our households and on roads to have a clean environment.
The Swachh Bharat is not a one day event but should be part of life in order to achieve the goal of a clean India by 2019.
Cleanliness is next to godliness – washing with water. It gives moral satisfaction and self respectability.
Cleanliness is an important virtue and we all keep our houses clean for a healthy environment.
