About the campaign

  • The campaign aimed to reaffirm commitment towards building a cleaner and healthier future.
  • The highlight of the week-long campaign is the inauguration of the Rashtriya Swachhata Kendra (RSK) on 8th August. 
  • During this campaign, States and UTs were expected to actively participate in the programme as they mobilise communities at District, Block and Village levels to engage in cleaning, lantation, promotion of behavior change, shramdaan and other swachhata related activities.

Rashtriya Swachhata Kendra

  • As a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, the RSK was first announced by the Hon’ble Prime Minister on 10th April 2017 at the centenary celebrations of Gandhiji’s indigo agitation, the Champaran Satyagraha. 
  • The RSK has been established at the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti at Rajghat in New Delhi – a dynamic experience centre to actively engage with citizens to impart information, awareness, and education around Swachhata in an interactive format with a balanced mix of digital and outdoor installations

A brief note on Swachh Bharat Mission

  •  The urban component of the mission is implemented by the Ministry of Urban Development, and the rural component by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation.

Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban

The Swachh Bharat Mission – Urban (SBM-U), launched on 2nd October 2014 aims at making urban India free from open defecation and achieving 100% scientific management of municipal solid waste in 4,041 statutory towns in the country.
