| Summary, etc |
The simple answer to this question is a minimum of 10 years away and that is only if the government spends at least Rs 2,00,000 crores per annum from now. When the problem becomes colossal due to neglect, non-planned development, and non-cognizance of it for a longer period, it requires a lot of time, money and perseverance to solve it. The aim of the Mission Swachh Bharat is to spread cleanliness everywhere encompassing everything - roads, railway tracks, bus stations, railway stations, parks, beaches, shorelines, river banks, reservoirs, lakes, schools, colleges, universities and all other public places. 100% absolute cleanliness can be achieved only by the strong will of the government combined with people’s participation and their strong desire to keep their country perfectly clean at all times throughout the year. Swachh Bharat campaign cannot be successful by one day’s work of sweeping some streets somewhere, 5-minute token gestures by celebrities, campaigning on TVs and newspapers, and, most importantly, without proper planning, efficient mechanism, perfect execution and monitoring system developed for the entire country. Swachh Bharat mission requires a huge network of workforce, basic infrastructure, consummate planning, tough laws and efficient monitoring at all levels. Swachh Bharat should also become evergreen Bharat to make it healthy Bharat. Clean and green India = Healthy India. – Reproduced |
