BAL SWACHHATA ABHIYAN

As a part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the mega cleanliness drive in India, and also as a part
of the Childrens Day celebrations, the Government of India has launched yet another campaign
Bal Swachhata Abhiyan. This campaign will be carried out together by the education and
health departments from November 14, Childrens Day, to November 19, the birth anniversary of
Indira Gandhi, in all schools across the country.
The Central Government has issued directives so that the campaign is implemented efficiently.
The idea is to spread cleanliness awareness among the children. Through this campaign, the
school students will play the role as cleanup ambassadors in the schools nearby and surrounding
areas and also display an encouraging way for the locals to keep their surroundings clean.
Highlights of Bal Swachhata Mission

Considering the importance of cleanliness and inculcating cleanliness from a very young
age, its necessary that every citizen of the country, including the children, should come
forward to be a part of the mega cleanliness drive.
The Directorate of Education has addressed all Heads of Government and Governmentaided schools and private schools to carry out the cleanliness mission and sensitise
children and make them aware of the different aspects of hygiene.

Bal Swachhata Abhiyan includes clean schools, clean surroundings and play area, pure
drinking water facilities, proper toilets, safe and clean food and personal hygiene.

All students must be aware of the need of cleanliness and various aspects of health and
sanitation.

Each student can spread cleanliness awareness among his family members effectively and
thereby pave the way for a clean society as a whole.

All health centres associated with the schools should be well-prepared with information
on balanced diet and health and senior officials should make sure that the students are
given information about nutrition, food grains and vegetables through video clips, posters
and Powerpoint presentations.

Children will also be given training on washing hands properly and how to maintain their
personal hygiene and cleanliness.

How to use toilets and keep them clean would be discussed during the campaign.

Officials would also spread awareness about water-borne diseases, the use of clean water,
proper cleaning of water tanks in schools and so on.

Bal Swachhata Abhiyan five-day programme

The themes of this campaign has been planned out in the following way:

14th November: Clean Schools/Surroundings/Play areas

15th November: Clean Food

17th November: Clean Self, Personal Hygiene, Child Safety

18th November: Clean Drinking Water

19th November: Clean Toilet

As part of the first-day programme, during the morning assembly, the students will take a vow
that they will not use plastic bags, will not waste any paper and use the dustbins for throwing
garbage in the school. Also, all students and teachers must clean the classrooms, library, labs,
kitchen and other areas.
Express Yourself Through: CBSE Expression Series
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched on its website
(http://cbseacademic.in/) CBSE Expression Series on Bal Swachhata Mission 14th to 19th
November 2014. This is an interesting way for school children to express themselves through
essay, poem, poster, drawing and painting. Each day a new topic will be assigned for the children
in three categories (classes 1 to 5, classes 6 to 8, classes 9 to 12). Topics based on themes for
each day will be announced on CBSEs official website one day in advance. Thirty best entries
on each day will be rewarded with a cash prize of Rs 2,500.
Conclusion: Again another encouraging initiative by the Government. But mere launching of a
campaign is not enough. Proper implementation is more necessary. Yes, its high time now that
we teach our children to be clean and maintain hygiene. Not only in schools, but also in home
and outside, a child should be well aware of cleanliness, safety and personal hygiene which will
make them stronger and healthy and responsible citizens of the country.

Indias Rs. 62,000 crore cleanliness drive, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the largest of its kind,
and the first big-buck social campaign to be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Kicked
off on Mahatma Gandhis 145th birthday, the movement has soared in popularity with star
campaigners like Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Shashi Tharoor, and Sachin Tendulkar
accepting and supporting the idea of a Clean India.

#1. The mission is estimated to cost a whooping Rs. 62,000 crore and is expected to reach out to
4,000 towns over the next 5 years. The objective is to achieve a Clean India by 2019,
coinciding with the year that India will celebrate Gandhis 150th birthday anniversary.
#2. Included in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, is the governments proposal to construct 11 crore
toilets in these 5 years to end the highly unsanitary practice of open defecation in India. That
translates into one new toilet being built every second!
#3. Per a 2010 U.N. report, India accounted for 60% of the overall population of 2.5 billion
people that lacked access to toilets and latrines, and other basic sanitation facilities. In numbers,
that translates into roughly 130 million households.
#4. The Swachhta Pledge, which can be viewed and signed online asks those committed to the
cause to devote 100 hours per year (roughly two hours a week) in voluntary work for cleanliness.
Additionally, it asks individuals to encourage 100 other persons to take the pledge for a Clean
India.
#5. At the launch of the campaign on October 2nd of this year, Prime Minister Modi stated that
India loses an average of Rs. 6500 per person due to lack of cleanliness and hygiene based on
figures provided by the World Health Organisation. Per reports by the U.N., India suffers losses
to the tune of $54 billion per year as a result of the toilet/latrine shortage.
#6. As of 2013, India also holds the title of the highest prevalence of stunted growth among
children facilitated by extremely high population densities, open defecation, and lack of
widespread sanitation, which in turn hastens the transmission of fecal-oral transmitted diseases
and depletes vital nutrients in growing children. And so, India faces a unique situation in that
despite rising incomes and improved diets, nearly one-half of Indian children are malnourished.
#7. Per figures provided by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), nearly 1/3rd of the
garbage produced everyday in cities and towns that have a civic body, is left out to decay on the
streets. In numbers, this translates into 14 million tons of solid waste. The same study suggests
that if waste from rural India is taken into consideration, this figure would rise up to 68 million
tons of waste!
#8. In 2009, 26 billion litres of waste water was dumped into Indias rivers everyday per the
CPCB. In the same year, 16 billion litres of the waste water produced came from the four
populous metro cities (Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, and Kolkata). This is outside of the 38 billion
liters of sewage that came from 500 of the Tier-I cities alone.
#9. Modelled after other similar schemes like the failed Nirmal Bharat Yojana launched under
the UPA government, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is also demand-driven. The people supposedly
demand toilets from the village pradhan, who forwards the request to a District-level Sanitation
Committee who then pass it upwards to the Centre. The Centre then disburses funds directly to
the Gram Sabhas accounts. However, the ground-reality is quite different. The residents of most
areas in which these schemes are implemented state that the government comes and builds toilets
as they please, motivated by achieving targets set out for them by higher authorities.

#10. As part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the government has announced that it will
construct 11 crore toilets in 5 years at the cost of Rs. 1.34 lakh crore. However, at current
estimates, the number of toilets that will be actually built by the government is closer to 9 crores,
with the expectation that the remaining 2 crores will be built by those who can afford to pay for
it. The funding for these 9 crore toilets is expected to come from 3 primary sources Ministry of
Drinking Water & Sanitation, Ministry of Rural Development, and the States. The total estimated
cost of building the proposed toilets, factoring in other associated costs such as solid waste
management comes out to be approximately Rs. 1.60 lakh crores over 5 years. The current
annual spending by the Central Government of India stands at Rs. 15 lakh crores. If we divide
the annual spending of the government by the proposed cost of this cleanliness drive, we get a
figure close to 10% of the overall spending budget distributed across 5 years.
And so what remains to be seen is whether Swachh Bharat Abhiyan truly delivers on its
promise for a Clean India? Unfortunately, past attempts have not been promising. Yes, we can
volunteer for two hours a week to clean our streets but where will the garbage go? We can build
9 crore toilets but can we inspire an entire generation to change? These are questions that are yet
to be answered.
