@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: I congratulate the nation for entering this new phase of Swachh Bharat Mission. This time, our aim is to make garbage-free cities
@SwachhBharatGov
#AzadiKaAmritMahotsav

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: The mission of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 is ‘Grabage Free’ cities, alongside sewage & clean water facilities for the urban population of the country

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: The mission of #Amrut 2.0 is to better sewage & septic management. We need to make our cities 'water secure'. We must ensure no untreated gutter water enters our rivers

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: The success of the maiden edition of #SwachhBharat Mission is the labour of sanitation workers & each ‘desh vasi’ of the country. We are hopeful that once again all of us will come together for the second edition with new measures for this mass cleanliness drive

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: We are fortunate that we are able to launch #SwachhBharat 2.0 one day before we celebrate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. We must ensure that we realise Bapu's vision of a clean India

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: As we celebrate Azadi ka #AmritMahotsav, sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, sabka prayas will play a big role

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: 75 years of independence recognises the importance of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ but how imperative is ‘Sabka Prayaas’ for us to live in a clean & healthy India

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: Babasaheb Ambedkar believed in urban development as a great means of removing inequality. The next phase of #SwachhBharat Mission and #Amrut Mission are an important step towards fulfilling the dreams of Babasaheb

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: I am very happy that today's generation has strengthened the initiative of #SwachhBharat. Toffee wrappers are no longer thrown on the ground but kept in pockets. Small children, stop the elders not to litter on public places

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: We have to remember that the #SwachhBharat Mission is NOT only for a day, a fortnight, a year or for a few people.Cleanliness is for everyone, every day, every fortnight, every year, generation after generation.Cleanliness is a lifestyle; cleanliness is a mantra

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: India has adopted Swachhata as a ‘habit’ and Indians have transformed it into a ‘mass movement’ which is not confined for a person or a group, but each one of us. It is for the development of not a street or a road, but the floursihment happening across

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: Every day we are processing almost 1 lakh tonne of waste. When we began in 2014, we used to process less than 20% of our waste. Now we have reached 70% & we are now aiming to reach 100%

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: Swachh Bharat mission is not confined to cleanliness of the country but creating green job opportunities in rural & urban areas with the help of modern technology & manpower

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: We have to ensure that no water body enters our rivers without treatment. We must make sure that no gutter or sewage water enters our rivers without being properly treated

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: Use of modern technology is increasing continuously for the development of the cities. Just in the month of August, the country has launched the National Automobile Scrappage Policy. This policy further strengthens our Waste to Wealth campaign & circular economy

@narendramodi @SwachhBharatGov PM @narendramodi: PM SWANIDHI Yojana has come as a ray of hope for the street vendors of the country. Over 46 lakh vendors have been able to maximise the benefits of this scheme & ease of the burden of loans & interest rates simultaneously
