The BJP-led government will observe ‘Seva Diwas’ (Day of Service) on September 17 and carry out a range of activities including building twin pit toilets, ‘Shramdaan’ or voluntary work, and sanitation drives.
September 17 happens to be the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Besides, the Centre launched a nation-wide, fortnight- long sanitation campaign today to highlight the Modi government’s flagship cleanliness initiative, Swachh Bharat Mission.
The campaign, named ‘Swachhta Hi Seva’ (Cleanliness is Service), was launched by President Ram Nath Kovind from Ishworiganj village in Kanpur.
The ‘Swachhta Hi Seva’ initiative is also being coordinated by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, and focuses on mass mobilisation for sanitation to contribute to Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of a clean India.
