Earlier, during his Mann Ki Baat address on August 27, 2017, PM Modi had called upon people to create an environment of cleanliness in the entire country so that the coming 2nd October, the third anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Mission and Gandhi Jayanti, can be celebrated in a befitting manner. He urged all NGOs, schools, colleges, social, cultural and political leaders, corporates, government officials, Collectors and sarpanches, to accelerate Swachhata activities during the September 15 – October 2 period. The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation shall be launching soon a section on MyGov.in wherein people, after constructing their toilets and undertaking other Swachhata-related activities, can register their name and the name of the beneficiary family, whom they helped.
