Launched in April 2016, the Swachhata Pakhwada is a significant initiative under the Swachh Bharat Mission. It is inspired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi's vision to engage all Union Ministries and Departments in Swachhata-related activities, thereby truly making Swachhata "everyone's business". It involves substantial efforts made towards Swachhata by all Union Ministries/ Departments through fortnightly initiatives spread across the nation, throughout the year.
