Swachh Bharat Mission

Context

After the national rollout of the Swachhata Hi Seva 2024 campaign, nearly five lakh very dirty spots across the country, to be known as Cleanliness Target Units (CTU), are to be adopted by various institutions, majorly Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs), and turned into facilities for public use.

About the Project

The project is being undertaken under the Swachcha Bharat Mission(SBM).
It includes mega cleanliness drives at various sites like tourist locations, public buildings, commercial areas, community toilets, public toilets, water bodies, zoos, and sanctuaries.
By adopting the CTUs, the public sector units can offer vital support through various initiatives, including manpower and machinery assistance, as well as plantation drives.
They can actively participate in Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs (safety camps for cleanliness staff) and install waste-to-art projects at transformed locations, contributing significantly to the cleanliness and beautification efforts.

Fact Box: Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM)

The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) is launched in 2014.
