Swachh Bharat Mission is a national campaign by the
Government of India. Our
Honorable Prime Minister of India Sh. Narendra Modi Ji launched Clean
India Mission
on 2nd Oct, 2014. It is a noble mission and our Prime Minister has
appealed fellow Indians to devote at least 100 hours every year for
the cause of cleanliness. Additionally, the
Swachh Bharat Mission is a time bound project to be completed before
2nd Oct, 2019.
The connection of Swachh Bharat with the economic activity of the
country: Advocating the idea of Clean India, the Prime Minister had
said, "The pursuit of cleanliness can be an economic activity,
and contributing to GDP (Gross domestic product) growth, cutting
health care costs and of course a source of employment."
Development
Of Rural Areas
According
to a report, “ Almost 60% of the population of the State of
Rajasthan defecates in the open” But, seven tribal villages of the
Rajasthan are now open defecation free ( ODF) after Swachh Bharat
abhiyan. These ODF- Maton, Rela, Nevatalai, Chanawda, Bansen village
in Chittorgarh, Parasrampura village in Bhilwara and Dabok villages
in Udaipur. Churu district in Rajasthan is one of the most backward
districts in terms of open defecation in the state, but it is likely
to become the first district in Rajasthan to get the defecation free
status very soon.
Apart
from the villages of Rajasthan, 11 villages in Koraput district in
Odisha have become open defecation free (ODF) as about522 households
of these villages have started using pucca toilets . These ODF 11
villages are Chandrmundar, Station Suku, Chakarliguda, Gandhiput,
Maliguda of Koraput block and Doraguda, Jagamput, Bandguda, Sadam of
Semiliguda, Khaparaput and Haldiput. IN the beginning, the response
of the villagers to construct toilets was negative, but a series of
awareness campaigns in the form of posters, pictorial presentations
and street plays by the district administration made them conscious
about the hazards of open defecation.
Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI)
To
achieve an enduring high trajectory of economic growth, a country
needs bigger inflows of foreign investments. For the economy to grow
by 7% to 8 % a year, there is a need to invest about 35 to 40% of
GDP. Domestic savings fall far short of this by 10 per cent, and
Foreign investments and borrowing have to fill this
investment-savings gap. India desperately needs
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the present economic
conditions. For example, Singapore which also undertook a cleanliness
drive from 1977 to 1987. “Keep Singapore Clean” campaign helped
Singapore to attract more FDI and transformed Singapore from
Developing to Developed country. Hope Swachh Bharat Mission will do
similar wonders for our country.
Health
Care Secror
India
loses approximately 1000 children every day to diarrhoeal deaths and
open defecation and lack of proper cleaning facilities is the prime
reason for these deaths. Also, one of the major root causes of
illness / diseases is unhygienic conditions. Every illness has a
financial impact in terms of expenditure or potential revenue
earning. “Because of lack of hygienic
conditions and cleanliness, there is a loss of Rs 6500 every year to
each Indian or we can say a loss of Rs 26000 every year for a family
of 4 people,” According to a recent study by WHO (World Health
Organization). This is a big financial loss. After the launching of
Swachh Bharat Mission, there will have a positive impact on the
health care sector of India.
Without
the support of every Indian, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan cannot be
successful . We should not think What will I get. i have just tried
to convey that Swachh Bharat Mission will financially benefit every
citizen of India through this post. For more Information Follow Us: http://www.vasanth.co.in/2016/02/my-expectations-from-head-of-our-nation.html, http://www.vasanth.co.in/
