Clean India Campaign: A Pathway to Development!

“You will make your institution ideal, if besides giving the students literary education, you have made cooks and sweepers of them." Mahatama Gandhi

The above quote by Gandhi is a clear evidence of the significance of cleanliness in which he advices the teachers to make it an integral part of their education system. Since childhood is the most appropriate time to inculcate good deeds and thoughts in an individual. The motive of my research paper is to discuss the issues related to the clean India campaign and the challenges that work as hurdles in the successful implementation of this programme. The campaign ‘clean India’ was launched on 2nd October, 2014, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi but different political parties seem to make a fuss over it as if Gandhi's ideology is their patent only which deviate us from the right cause. As we know cleanliness cannot be associated with any particular religion, caste, and creed or with the agenda of any political party as it is a must for living a hygienic, healthy and blissful life. Moreover sick people make a society and country sick and unpleasant. So it won't an exaggeration to say that progress of our people and country is based upon their sanitation habits. But the problem worsens because of the litterbugs who never hesitate to make their surroundings unclean. My research work is a piece of secondary research.
