New Delhi, October 5

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) engaged in the nationwide Swachhata Hi Seva - 2025 campaign, which was conducted from September 17 to October 2. This initiative was organised collaboratively by the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS) and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).

Guided by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of fostering a cleaner and sustainable India through the Swachhata movement, MHI along with its Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and Autonomous Bodies (ABs) has reinforced its commitment towards a clean, sustainable and progressive nation.

As part of the campaign, more than 90 Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs) and 45 public places were identified for cleaning, with the participation of more than 2,000 volunteers, according to the release.

To further strengthen the spirit of Swachhata, MHI and its CPSEs/ABs organised a series of creative, people-centric initiatives under the theme "Swachhotsav", in alignment with the Swachhata Hi Seva - 2025 campaign.

As per the release, the activities included Waste-to-Art exhibitions, painting competitions under the slogan "Ek Kadam Swachhta Ki Ore" (One Step Towards Cleanliness), tree plantation drives, and other awareness programmes.

These initiatives witnessed enthusiastic participation from schools, colleges, hospitals, health clinics, and civil society organisations, thereby transforming the campaign into a people's movement for a cleaner and greener India.

As part of SWACHHOTSAV under the Swachhata Hi Seva 2025 campaign, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), a CPSE under MHI, organised a Pledge Ceremony at its HEEP Unit in Haridwar. Employees participated with great enthusiasm, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to building a cleaner, greener, and sustainable India, in alignment with the vision of Swachh Bharat.

BBJ, a CPSE under MHI, also organised a Swachhata Shramdaan at the Heavy Plant Yard, Kolkata.

They reaffirm the collective commitment of MHI and its CPSEs/ABs towards building a sustainable future, in alignment with the vision of Swachh Bharat.

Great to see government departments taking the lead in cleanliness drives. However, I hope this isn't just a one-time event. We need sustained efforts and proper waste management systems in place. The real challenge is maintaining the cleanliness after the drive ends.

The involvement of schools and colleges is particularly encouraging! When young minds learn about cleanliness and sustainability from an early age, it creates lasting change. 🇮🇳 Jai Hind!

2,000 volunteers across 90 locations is impressive! But considering India's population, we need many more such drives. Every citizen should contribute at least 2 hours per month to community cleaning. That would make a real difference.

As someone who has lived in India for 3 years, I've seen the positive impact of Swachh Bharat. The cultural shift towards cleanliness is remarkable. The "Ek Kadam Swachhta Ki Ore" slogan is perfect - every small step counts! 🌱

BHEL and other CPSEs setting an example for corporate social responsibility. Hope more private companies join such initiatives. Clean India is not just a government program - it's a national mission that needs everyone's participation.
