Nationwide Cleanliness: A Movement Beyond the Surface

The Swachhata Hi Sewa Campaign, led by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, is a continuous, nationwide movement reflecting collective effort toward cleanliness, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's vision. The campaign, reiterated by Prime Minister Modi, extends beyond physical sanitation to foster sustainable habits, environmental responsibility, and community participation.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh emphasized on Monday that cleanliness should be regarded as an ongoing collective commitment rather than a fleeting effort.

At an event held at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Singh highlighted that the Swachhata Hi Sewa is not a mere campaign but a significant national movement echoing the ethos of Mahatma Gandhi's ideals on cleanliness and dignity. Joined by senior officials including P K Mishra and other advisors, Singh led the charge in endorsing the Swachh Bharat Mission, aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a clean India.

The campaign, Singh noted, transcends mere physical tidiness, urging a mindset shift toward accountability for one's environment, promoting a healthier, sustainable future. The initiative, which commemorates Gandhi's birth anniversary, has seen substantial milestones, including the clearance of 63.48 lakh square feet of space and revenue generation through scrap disposal, underscoring its national importance in community building and collective action.
