INTRODUCTION
Since 1 April 1999, the Government of India reorganized the Comprehensive Rural Sanitation Programme and
launched the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC). Later on Total Sanitation Campaign, with effect from 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.After 1 April 2012, the TSC was renamed to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan. It evolved from the limited
achievements of the first structured programme for rural sanitation in India, the Central Rural Sanitation
Programme, which had minimal community participation. The main goal of Total Sanitation Campaign is to
eradicate the practice of open defecation by 2017. Community-led total sanitation is not focused on building
infrastructure, but on changing cultural norms to prevent open defecation. (Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan)

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
The father of our nationMahatma Gandhi always gave emphasis on “Swachhta” as it leads to healthy and prosperous
life. Keeping this in mind, the Indian government decided to launch the Swachh Bharat Mission on October 2, 2014.
Swachh Bharat Mission is a massive mass movement which seeks to create a Clean India by 2019. The mission will
cover all rural and urban areas. The urban component of the mission will be implemented by the Ministry of Urban
Development, and the rural component by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation. The mission is divided
into 3 different parameters i.e. Status of Drinking Water, Status of Sanitation and status of Hygiene. The campaign
was launched by considering the following objectivesi.e. Elimination of open defecation, Conversion of insanitary
toilets to pour flush toilets, Eradication of manual scavenging, 100% collection and scientific
processing/disposal/reuse/recycling of municipal solid waste, A behavioral change in people regarding healthy
sanitation practices, Generation of awareness among citizens about sanitation and its linkages with public health,
Supporting urban local bodies in designing, executing and operating waste disposal systems, Facilitating private-
sector participation in capital expenditure. (Swachh Bharat Mission, 2014)
Significance of Youth in Implementing SBA in Delhi
Major share of population in India is shared by young people; statistics says approximately 66% of the total
population. Hence they can play an important role for the effectiveness of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA). The
present study focused on the effectiveness of SBA in Urban Areas with special focus on Delhi, being capital of
India. The study focused on the initiatives undertaken till now and the effectiveness of those initiatives. The study
showed how youth can become the change agent and reduce the functionality gap between the initiatives taken and
the actual implementation.

‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ was launched by The Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched in New
Delhi on October 2, 2014. The Prime Minister paid homage to two great sons of Mother India, Mahatma Gandhi and
former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, on their birth anniversary. It was a landmark initiative to build
consciousness about cleanliness and create a sense of accountability and responsibility in every Indian about keeping
the country clean as stated in a Press Release by ICICI Bank in November 20143.
Dr. Shubhangi Rathispecifiedthe concept of Swachh Bharat is to provide sanitation facilities to every family,
including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and adequate drinking water
supply and to achieve this by 2019 as a befitting tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, on his 150th
birth anniversary.
In a report published by Government of India4, it was published that the Hon’ble Prime Minister had nominated few
eminent personalities to take forward this campaign. The invited nine public figures were: Mridula Sinha, Sachin
Tendulkar, Baba Ramdev, Shashi Tharoor, Anil Ambani, Kamal Hasan, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Team
Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma – to make a contribution towards Swachh Bharat, share the same on social media,
and invite nine other people to do the same, hence forming a chain, where he also urged people to share their
contributions on social media.
According to an article published by Priyanka Bhardwaj (2014)directives of the central government, all states and
departments joined the Prime Minister’s march and more than 3 million government employees and students of
schools and colleges were administered the Clean India pledge. Activities like walking, running and flying kites
were conducted to highlight the significance of the mission. Prime minister called out to the 1.25 billon citizens to
assume responsibility of the outcome of the movement, individually dedicate 10 hours every year and to discipline
themselves. The banks were also invited by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create one lakh "Swachhta
Entrepreneurs" within a year, to make the "Swachh Bharat" vision a sustainable reality.5

CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Behavioral Change is needed among citizens, youth and also civic authorities/municipalities for SBA. As
observed the two critical elements needed for success of SBA are:
a) Effective engagement of Local Civic Bodies/Municipalities.
b) Civic Sense inculcation in Citizens specially among youth as being generation next
2. Local Circles should be created by youth of particular locality which will enable people of that locality to
connect with functionary bodies like government, NGO’s etc. which will help in identifying Causes, Interests
and Needs and will seek information/assistance when needed thus enabling to come together for various
initiatives and improvements.
3. This circle connects all citizens who want to give inputs to the new Delhi Government and play a role in
Making Delhi Better. Youth can serve as volunteers as needed by the Government to help with a particular issue
or solution.
4. Initiatives by youth with help of various functionary bodies can assist in improving governance and thus in turn
will help in SBA.
5. India being a religious and pious country following various religious customs across the country, different
occasions are celebrated with large gatherings generally at public places with offering of various food items. .At
such places appropriate steps should be taken for waste management by organizers/youth volunteers/local
circles to contribute towards SBA.
6. As a Swachh Bharat mission every youth must act as a representative/Ambassador of their locality towards
cleanliness
7. Youth should act as representative of government for maintaining hygiene and cleanliness of public places.Like
public offices, banks, post offices, petrol pumps, bus stops, railway stations, Metro stations, hospitals, schools,
health centres etc.
8. Keeping in view the above mentioned facts youth should help in creating awareness and spreadinstructions
issued by all municipal commissioners, civic bodies etc. to ensure effectiveness of SBA.
9. Spitting and writing at public places are very common problem and is a big menace. Our streets, walls, public
places, historical places are dirty due to spits and writing. Youth should act as a role model and should make
“not spitting and not writing at public places” a movement. Also they should encourage people to avoid such
activities and contribute towards “Clean India, Green India”.
10. Service Level Benchmarks should be created by Municipal Corporations and mst be embarked at all
RWA.Youth can also help in tracking the performance/delivery of a municipal corporation. RWA must follow
one rule that everybody should use the dust bin supplied by the Municpal .Nobodyshould throw the garbage on
the road or back side of the house.
IMT Faridabad Volume III, Special Issue I April 2017 Page 11
11. The mission to clean India brings with it new business opportunities for entrepreneurs and new jobs for our
young workforce. For example joint ventures can be formed say they should bid for different cities and given
charge to build and maintain hygiene and cleanliness as a corporate activity not as a corporate social
responsibility.
12. Youth along with NGO’s and various working agencies can implement one idea that there should be a
competition among colonies or sectors of particular area /region of Delhi regarding cleanliness and should
award colony of the month.A cleaner neighborhood is a healthier neighborhood, an organized neighborhood,
where home values also rises at a faster rate than the others.
13. Generally it is observed that some equipment are missing with most of the civic authorities/municipalities like:-
a) Small Dumpers of the size of fork-lift for scooping debris on the road and loading to truck.
b) The drainage cleaning staff does not have bamboos and iron rods.
c) They should have pumps which suck sewage, grind and fill tanks.
d) Washable and reusable nose mash for the employees is missing.
e) Municipality has no equipment for pruning the trees.
f) Hand glove, gum boots etc. to handle the waste are mostly missing.
g) Cleaning staff is also missing ‘litter grabbers’.
h) Automated vehicles to empty the large municipal bins are missing.
i) Dust protection eye-glasses.
j) Light weight shovels.
k) Small oxygen cylinders with oxygen pipes for people working inside the Hume pipes of drainage system.
l) Vehicle with motorized ladders for emergencies and contingencies.
In this direction youth can look into which equipment’s are missing in their locality and further they can play
intermediate role between locality and civic authorities for the information and action needed.
