 Sh Parameswaran Iyer, Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India will deliver the lecture on mplementation of Large Scale Social Transformation Programmes: Lessons from the Swachh Bharat Mission. He is leading the flagship Swachh Bharat Mission and the National Rural Drinking Water Programme of Govt. of India. A 1981 batch IAS officer joined the World Bank in 2009. Prior to his

 Sh. Iyar will deliberate on Swachh Bharat Mission. The Swachh Bharat Mission has revolutionized sanitation in India; India has brought over 50 crore people out of open defecation and halved the global open defecation burden, in just five years. The story of India going from a sanitation coverage of 39% to 99% in five years is unparalleled. India has harnessed the power of its people to bring about a fundamental shift in their collective conscience and change a centuries-old habit, in half a decade. The talk will highlight key points of how Swachh Bharat Mission transcended from a government programme to mass movement, a Jan Andolan. 

The Swachh Bharat journey has laid down a blueprint for future government supported and people led transformations.

T.R. Sharma, Executive Director, NABI, Mohali is guest of honour. Prof. Girish Sahani, Former Secretary, DSIR and DG-CSIR will be presiding over the function.
