The Mayor emphasized that this campaign is not just an initiative; it is a movement that requires the active participation of everyone. “Cleanliness is not merely the absence of dirt; it is a way of life, a shared responsibility that we must embrace collectively,” he stated.

MC Commissioner Sh. Vinay Pratap Singh, IAS, said that the deep cleaning drives citywide, including in residential areas, commercial spaces, schools, parks, government offices, gaushalas, backlanes, community centers, public conveniences, water bodies, religious places, and open lands, will continue until 2 October. The Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) 2024 campaign marks the 10th anniversary of this initiative, which has been observed annually since its inception in 2014 to commemorate the 155th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

The campaign focuses on three key pillars:

1. Swachhata Ki Bhagidaari (Public Participation, Awareness, and Advocacy)  

2. Sampoorna Swachhata(Comprehensive Cleanliness Initiatives)  

3. Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs(Preventive Health Checkups and Social Security Coverage)  

He further stated that a series of Jan Andolans (people’s movements), along with major events and activities, have been planned in alignment with these pillars. The collaboration involves stakeholders including Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs), Market Welfare Associations (MWAs), NGOs, schools, and Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The focus will be on schools, residential associations, market vendors, the welfare of Safaimitras, and SHGs, ensuring that all stakeholders actively contribute to maintaining cleanliness in their surroundings.
