Agartala, November 3 (TIWN): Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cleanliness drive, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is in full swing in different Gram Panchayats under Nalchar RD Blocks and its employees will maintain cleanliness in and around the Panchayat area including Junior Basic/Primary School/Higher Secondary schools.

" Every road, every path, every office, every home, every hut must be kept clean,” said a official of the block. The official further urged every citizen of the state to do their utmost to make a success of the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" (Clean India Project) launched by the Government to ensure hygiene, waste management and sanitation across the country.

Swachh Bharat or Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Campaign Clean India) is a national level campaign by the Government of India covering 4041 statutory towns to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. This campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself wielded broom and cleaned a road.

The launch of the mission comes in the wake of a perception about Indian cities not being very clean. A number of people in rural areas still do not have access to toilets. Some schools in the rural areas also do not have toilets.
