The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Campaign), launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 2, 2014, aims to promote cleanliness and sanitation across India by 2019, coinciding with Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary. The campaign seeks to eliminate open defecation, improve sanitation practices, and encourage public participation, with significant involvement from corporate India through CSR initiatives. Additionally, states like Andhra Pradesh and cities such as Visakhapatnam have adopted local efforts to enhance cleanliness and sanitation standards.
