Swach Bharat Abhiyan

History:

With effect from 1 April 1999, the Government of India restructured the Comprehensive Rural Sanitation Programme and launched the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC).

To give a fillip to the Total Sanitation Campaign, effective. In June 2003 the government launched an incentive scheme in the form of an award for total sanitation coverage, maintenance of a clean environment and open defecation-free panchayat villages, blocks and districts called Nirmal Gram Puraskar.On 1 April 2012, the TSC was renamed to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan. On 2 October 2014 the campaign was re-launched as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.


Objective:

Elimination of open defecation

Conversion of insanitary toilets to pour flush toilets

Eradication of manual scavenging

100% collection and scientific processing/disposal/reuse/recycling of municipal solid waste

A behavioural change in people regarding healthy sanitation practices

Generation of awareness among citizens about sanitation and its linkages with public health

Supporting urban local bodies in designing, executing and operating waste disposal systems

Facilitating private-sector participation in capital expenditure and operation and maintenance costs for sanitary facilities


Criticism:Criticisms of the campaign include:

Some regard the motives of Prime Minister Modi as purely political. The prime minister nominated people who were supposed to do some cleaning-up. They would then nominate others, and so slowly the whole of India would be involved. Thus, anyone seeing a participant in the scheme, especially a celebrity, would inevitably link their actions to Modi, building up his reputation.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is not a new programme. Launched in 1986 as the Central Rural Sanitation Programme, the scheme later became the Total Sanitation Campaign (1999) and Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(2012). Some regard it as merely a renaming.


Conclusion: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his nationwide cleanliness campaign, the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' or 'Clean India Campaign' from the on Gnadhi jayanti. Addressing the nation at the launch, Modi asked India's 1.25 billion people to join the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' and promote it to everyone. Narendra Modi said, "Today is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi ji and Lal Bahadur Shastriji. We have gained freedom under leadership of Gandhi ji, but his dream of clean India is still unfulfilled.“So, we should make success the dream of Gandhi ji.

GREEN INDIA”

Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya

Introduction: Swachh Bharat: Swachh Vidyalaya is the national campaign driving ‘Clean India: Clean Schools’. A key feature of the campaign is to ensure that every school in India has a set of functioning and well maintained water, sanitation and hygiene facilities. Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools refers to a combination of technical and human development components that are necessary to produce a healthy school environment and to develop or support appropriate health and hygiene behaviours. The technical components include drinking water, hand washing, toilet and soap facilities in the school compound for use by children and teachers. The human development components are the activities that promote conditions within the school and the practices of children that help to prevent water, hygiene and sanitation related diseases.


Benefits:The provision of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in school secures a healthy school environment and protects children from illness and exclusion. Girls are particularly vulnerable to dropping out of school, partly because many are reluctant to continue their education when toilets and washing facilities are not private, not safe or simply not available. When schools have appropriate, gender-separated facilities, an obstacle to attendance is removed. Thus having gender segregated toilets in schools particularly matters for girls.Hygiene in school also supports school nutrition. The simple act of washing hands with soap before eating the school mid day meal assists to break disease transmission routes

A clean and healthy school creates a cycle of opportunities

Water, sanitation and hygiene is an investment inschool children and the health of future generations. It helps children realise their full potential and prepares them for a healthy adult life, which can contribute tothe growth of the nation.

Hand washing can reduce diarrhoea by more than 30 per cent and Respiratory infections Incidence by 16 per cent

Better water, sanitation and hygiene in schools provideshealthy and secure school environments that can protect children from illness. A child's memory, executive function, language and problem solving skills as well as attention span respond positively when healthy


Failing to curb the spread of disease threatens children's cognitive development and allows a recurrent cycle of issued school, poorer school performance and increased poverty

With gender-segregated toilets, inclusive and accessible facilities, students are assured of privacy and dignity and children with special needs can attend school. When girls have access to safe and clean toilets and water at school, they are less likely to miss school while menstruating
