Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan calls for making cleanliness a part of everyday public behaviour, not limiting it to campaigns

Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, and Rural Development Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed a virtual meeting with senior officials, emphasizing that cleanliness should be an ongoing part of everyday public behaviour rather than confined to specific campaigns. The meeting reviewed activities undertaken under Swachhata Hi Seva 2026, including office cleanliness drives, disposal of electronic waste and old furniture generating approximately Rs 15 lakh in revenue, honoring sanitation workers, and initiatives involving Krishi Vigyan Kendras and ICAR institutes to connect rural communities with waste management. Departments also outlined targets for an upcoming special campaign focusing on pending file disposal, scrap clearance, and space optimization.
