स्वच्छता पखवाडा २०२२

 Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Swachhta Pakhwada was Started in April 2016, with the objective of bringing a fortnight of intense focus on issues and practices of the Swachhta by engaging all the government ministries & departments in their jurisdictions.

 Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi during his first address to the Nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on 68th Independence Day, urged the people to keep their surroundings clean and green. Mahatma Gandhi Ji had cleanliness and sanitation closest to his heart.

Swachhta has been recognised and accorded top priority by the government of India. Hygiene and hygienic practices in life are critical for health not only to improve a living environment but also to elevate our thinking to a more pure and healthy state.

The program has been designated as “swachhta pakhwada” to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Swachh Bharat. Swachhta pakhwada is an occasion to pledge the support of the higher educational institutions for spreading the message of cleanliness not only among the students but also in the surrounding areas.

Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission is a country-wide campaign initiated by the Government of India in 2014 to eliminate open defecation and improve solid waste management.
