ANNOUNCEMENTS
India has one of the world’s fastest growing economy. With its growing influence on the world stage no one can doubt its increasing recognition and position as an eminent powerful country, it also faces the issue that a large number of people still struggle with necessities of the basic life and even does not have access to basic facilities of livelihood. The paradox is that India is a technological leader and home to titans of industry, yet millions still live in the most basic conditions with inadequate sanitation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not shied away from this reality. In October 2014, he launched Swachh Bharat, the “Clean India” campaign. To say that the “Clean India” campaign was highly ambitious would be an understatement. Never before had a movement been created with the potential to boost the health and welfare of so many people, so quickly. This ambition, both humble and grand, would shape the growth and prosperity of the nation for generations to come. The Indian Government, like many around the world, has recognised that health is a key determinant of economic growth in the 21st century. Better health leads to higher income, which in turn leads to better health. Like education, health is a fundamental component of human capital. To assess this matter a third party is yearly assigned this duty and following up with the findings from Swachh Survekshan 2018 the study has been developed that looks into the funding mechanism, working of the campaign, look into the economy by following the Value for money principles. Suggestions have been formulated that focuses on all the sectors as well as has been developed from the current situation that would help is moving forward for future interventions with a more inclusive approach.However challenging the mission objectives and targets may be yet they give a hope that the situation of sanitation and solid waste management has to be looked with more concern not just by the government but by every citizen of the country.
