Swachch Bharat Abhiyan:
• An Action Plan has been drawn up for a Swachh Bharat to become a reality by 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
• The concept of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is to pave access for every person to sanitation facilities including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness and safe and adequate drinking water supply. The programme is implemented by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation.
