History:
With effect from 1 April 1999, the Government of
India restructured the Comprehensive Rural Sanitation
Programme and launched the Total Sanitation

To give a fillip to the Total Sanitation
Campaign, effective. In June 2003 the government
launched an incentive scheme in the form of an
award for total sanitation coverage, maintenance of
a clean environment and open defecation-free
panchayat villages, blocks and districts called Nirmal
Gram Puraskar.
On 1 April 2012, the TSC was renamed to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan. On 2 October 2014

Criticism:
Criticisms of the campaign include:
Some regard the motives of Prime Minister Modi as
purely political. The prime minister nominated people
who were supposed to do some cleaning-up. They would
then nominate others, and so slowly the whole of India
would be involved. Thus, anyone seeing a participant in
the scheme, especially a celebrity, would inevitably link
their actions to Modi, building up his reputation.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is not a new programme. Launched in 1986 as the Central
Rural Sanitation Programme, the scheme later became the Total Sanitation Campaign
(1999) and Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(2012). Some regard it as merely a renaming.

Conclusion:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his nationwide
cleanliness campaign, the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' or 'Clean
India Campaign' from the on Gnadhi jayanti. Addressing
the nation at the launch, Modi asked India's 1.25 billion
people to join the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' and promote it to
everyone.
Narendra Modi said, "Today is the birth anniversary of
Mahatma Gandhi ji and Lal Bahadur Shastriji. We have
gained freedom under leadership of Gandhi ji, but his
dream of clean India is still unfulfilled.“
So, we should make success the dream of Gandhi ji.
7. Swachh Bharat Swachh Vidyalaya
Introduction:
Swachh Bharat: Swachh Vidyalaya is the national
campaign driving ‘Clean India: Clean Schools’. A key feature of
the campaign is to ensure that every school in India has a set of
functioning and well maintained water, sanitation and hygiene
facilities. Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools refers to a
combination of technical and human development
components that are necessary to produce a healthy school
environment and to develop or support appropriate health and
hygiene behaviours.
The technical components include drinking water, hand
washing, toilet and soap facilities in the school compound for
use by children and teachers. The human development
components are the activities that promote conditions within
the school and the practices of children that help to prevent
water, hygiene and sanitation related diseases.

Benefits:
The provision of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in school secures a healthy school environment
and protects children from illness and exclusion.
Girls are particularly vulnerable to dropping out of school, partly because many are reluctant to
continue their education when toilets and washing facilities are not private, not safe or simply not
available. When schools have appropriate, gender-separated facilities, an obstacle to attendance is
removed. Thus having gender segregated toilets in schools particularly matters for girls.
Hygiene in school also supports school nutrition. The simple act of washing hands with soap before
eating the school mid day meal assists to break disease transmission routes
A clean and healthy school creates a cycle of opportunities
Water, sanitation and
hygiene is an investment in
school children and the
health of future
generations. It helps
children realise their full
potential and prepares
them for a healthy adult
life, which can contribute to
the growth of the nation.
Hand washing can
reduce diarrhoea by
more than 30 per
cent and Respiratory
infections Incidence
by 16 per cent
Better water, sanitation and
hygiene in schools provides
healthy and secure school
environments that can protect
children from illness. A child's
memory, executive function,
language and problem solving skills
as well as attention span respond
positively when healthy

Failing to curb the spread of disease
threatens children's cognitive
development and allows a recurrent
cycle of issued school, poorer
school performance and increased
poverty
With gender-segregated toilets,
inclusive and accessible facilities,
students are assured of privacy and
dignity and children with special
needs can attend school. When girls
have access to safe and clean
toilets and water at school, they are
less likely to miss school while
menstruating
