GUWAHATI, Sept 6: In line with the government’s ongoing mission to promote cleanliness and hygiene across India, Indian Railways will observe the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva 2024’ campaign from September 14 to October 1. This year, the Swachhata campaign will be organised with the theme ‘Swabhav Swachhata – Sanskaar Swachhata’ with the Swachh Bharat Diwas celebration on October 2, 2024. It has been 10 years since the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission by the government. The campaign was launched to sensitise people about observing proper hygiene, encourage them to desist from open defecation, and keep stations and railway tracks clean.
This year, the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign will be based on three pillars of activities: Swachhata ki Bhagidaari, Sampoorna Swachhata, and Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs. The Swachhata Hi Seva campaign is designed to mobilise citizens through various activities. The campaign seeks to emphasise promoting Swachhata as part of behaviour: ‘Swabhav Swachhata, Sanskaar Swachhata’.
