The campaign awakened the country to the fact that only

a litter-free and a disease-free society is the prelude to

socio-economic empowerment, which was evident from

their social media posts. People realised that a simple step

towards sanitation has the power to deliver a prosperous

and happy living through the means of healthy and clean

environment. This will take them out of the constant threat

of disease and illness.

From government officials to soldiers, from movie actors to

the sportspersons, from industrialists to spiritual leaders,

all lined up for the noble work. They not only took the onus

of cleaning the places but also encouraged and inspired the

common citizens to contribute to the cause.

The crusade to accelerate hygienic sanitation in the

country garnered praise from international agencies

like WHO which applauded the PM’s efforts for

accelerating sanitation coverage in India.
