In line with Government’s ongoing mission to promote cleanliness and hygiene across India, Indian Railways will observe the Swachhata Hi Seva, 2024 campaign from 14th of September to 01st of October. This year the Swachhata campaign will be organised with the theme ‘Swabhav Swachhata – Sanskaar Swachhata’ with Swachh Bharat Diwas celebration on 02nd of October, 2024.
It has been 10 years since the launch of Swachh Bharat Mission by the Government. The campaign was launched to sensitize people about observing of proper hygiene, encourage desisting from open defecation and keeping the stations and railway tracks clean.
This year the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign will be based on three pillars of activities i.e. Swachhata ki Bhagidaari, Sampoorna Swachhata and Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs. The Swachhata Hi Seva campaign is designed to mobilize citizens through various activities. The campaign seeks to emphasize on promoting Swachhata as part of behaviour: ‘Swabhav Swachhata, Sanskaar Swachhata.’
Major programs will be organised across N. F. Railway during this fortnight-long campaign to sensitize people on the importance of sanitation. The campaign will include various activities like mass cleanliness drives at work places, railway tracks and stations premises to spread up awareness amongst railway employees and passengers. The campaign will also witness the recognition of Safai Mitras, sanitation workers, and other stakeholders who have been integral to the program. Organising medical camp at various health units, providing safety PPEs & medical equipment’s and sensitization workshops for health & wellbeing are part of this mega campaign.
