What is Swachhata Hi Seva Campaign?
The Swachhata Hi Seva campaign is a nationwide initiative in India aimed at promoting cleanliness and sanitation. Launched by the Indian government, it encourages citizens to actively participate in cleaning their surroundings, public spaces, and homes. The campaign is part of the larger Swachh Bharat Mission and focuses on spreading awareness about the importance of hygiene, waste management, and reducing plastic use. It usually involves activities like cleanliness drives, tree planting, and waste segregation, with the goal of creating a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
