TRANSCRIPT
HISTORYWith effect from 1 April 1999, the Government of India
restructured the Comprehensive Rural Sanitation Programme and launched the Total Sanitation Campaign
(TSC).
To give a fillip to the Total Sanitation Campaign, effective 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.
Effective 1 April 2012, the TSC was renamed to Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (SBA).
On 2 October 2014 the campaign was relaunched as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
LOCATION
This campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at
Rajghat, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself
cleaned the road. It is India's biggest ever cleanliness drive and
3 million government employees and school and college students of
