Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) is a major program by the Indian government to make sure everyone has access to clean toilets and to stop people from using the outdoors for going to the bathroom. It started on October 2, 2014, and is a way to honor Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of a clean India. This mission is not just about building toilets, but also about changing people’s habits so they keep using the toilets properly.
The Swachh Bharat Mission has two main parts: Swachh Bharat Mission Gramin for rural areas and Swachh Bharat Mission Urban for cities. The main goal of this mission was to stop people from going to the bathroom outside by the year 2019. In rural areas, the mission built over 100 million toilets, which helped many people. Now, the mission is in Phase II, focusing on managing waste to keep things clean and move towards “Sampoorn Swachhata,” which means total cleanliness.
Objectives
- To stop people from pooping outside in India.
- To make sure people use toilets in a way that lasts.
- To manage trash and sewage in the countryside.
- To improve people’s health, safety, and self-respect, especially for women.
