It has been eventful five years as on 2nd October 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched throughout length and breadth of the country as a national movement.
There is no denying the fact that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the most significant cleanliness campaign by the Government of India. This year, Shri Narendra Modi led a cleanliness pledge at India Gate, which about thirty lakh government employees across the country joined. He also flagged off a walkathon at Rajpath and surprised people by joining in not just for a token few steps, but marching with the participants for a long way.
