    Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Essay 6 (400 words)

    Introduction

    The father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi had once said that,
    “Sanitation is more important than Independence” during his time
    before the independence of India. He was well aware of the bad and
    unclean situation of India. He had emphasized a lot to the people of
    India about cleanliness and sanitation as well as its implementation
    in the daily lives. However, it was not so effective and was
    unsuccessful because of the incomplete participation of people. After
    so many years of independence, a most effective campaign of
    cleanliness is launched to call people for their active participation
    and complete the mission of cleanliness.

    Launch of Swachh Bharat Campaign

    The Former President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has said in June
    2014 while addressing the Parliament that, “For ensuring hygiene,
    waste management and sanitation across the nation a Swachh Bharat
    Mission will be launched. This will be our tribute to Mahatma Gandhi
    on his 150th birth anniversary to be celebrated in the year 2019”. In
    order to fulfill the vision of Mahatma Gandhi and make India an ideal
    country in the world, the Prime Minister of India initiated a campaign
    called Swachh Bharat Abhiyan on the birth anniversary of Mahatma
    Gandhi (2nd of October 2014). This campaign has the target of
    completion of mission till 2019 i.e. 150th birth anniversary of the
    Mahatma Gandhi.

    Importance of Swachh Bharat Campaign

    Through this campaign the Government of India solves the sanitation


    problems by enhancing the waste management techniques. Clean India
    movement is completely associated with the economic strength of the
    country. The birth date of the Mahatma Gandhi is targeted in both, the
    launch and the completion of the mission.

    The basic goals behind launching the Swachh Bharat Mission are to make
    the country full of sanitation facilities as well as eliminate all the
    unhealthy practices of people in daily routines. The first cleanliness
    drive in India was started on 25th of September in 2014 and was
    initiated by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi by cleaning up the
    road.

    Benefits of Swachh Bharat Campaign

    The completion of this mission would indirectly draw the attention of


    business investors in India, enhance the GDP growth, draw tourists
    attention from all over the world, bring variety of sources of
    employment, reduce health costs, reduce death rate, and reduce lethal
    disease rate and many more. Clean India would bring more tourists and
    enhance its economical condition. The Prime Minister of India has
    requested to every Indian to devote their 100 hours per year for the
    cleanliness in India which is very sufficient to make this country a
    clean country by 2019. Swachh Bharat cess is also started to get some
    fund for this campaign. Everyone has to pay extra 0.5% tax (50 paise
    per 100 rupee) on all the services in India.

    UP CM Yogi Adityanath has also started a cleanliness drive in 2017 in


    Uttar Pradesh to ensure cleanliness in the official buildings.
    According to this, he has banned eating paan, gutka and other tobacco
    products in the government offices.

    Conclusion

    Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is one of the most important initiatives taken


    by the government to make India shine in the world. But what it
    requires the most is the active participation of each and every
    individual irrespective of its caste, creed or religion. If we want
    our country to be respected and revered in the world then we should
    devote ourselves in this campaign by contributing to the cause and
    spreading the awareness of Swachh Bharat Mission then only the dream
    of Mahatma Gandhi could be achieved in real sense.
