Clean India Mission


Clean India Mission

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA) or Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) is a nation-wide campaign in India for the period 2014 to 2019 that aims to clean up the streets, roads and infrastructure of India's cities, towns, and rural areas. The campaign's official name is in Hindi and translates to 'Clean India Mission' in English. The objectives of Swachh Bharat include eliminating open defecation through the construction of household-owned and community-owned toilets and establishing an accountable mechanism of monitoring toilet use. The campaign is runned by the Government of India, the mission aims to achieve an "open-defecation free" (ODF) India by 2 October 2019, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, by constructing 90 million toilets in rural India at a projected cost of ₹1.96 lakh crore (US$30 billion). The mission will also contribute to India reaching Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), established by the UN in 2015.
The campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at RajghatNew Delhi by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. It is India's largest cleanliness drive to date with three million government employees and students from all parts of India participating in 4,041 cities, towns, and rural areas. Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has called the campaign Satyagrah se Swachhagrah in reference to Gandhi's Champaran Satyagraha launched on 10 April 1917.
The mission has two thrusts: Swachh Bharat Abhiyan ("gramin" or 'rural'), which operates under the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation; and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan ('urban'), which operates under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
As part of the campaign, volunteers, known as Swachhagrahis, or 'ambassadors of cleanliness', have promoted indoor plumbing and community approaches to sanitation (CAS) at the village level. Other non-governmental activities include national real-time monitoring and updates from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as The Ugly IndianWaste Warriors, and SWaCH Pune (Solid Waste Collection and Handling) that are working towards its ideas of Swachh Bharat.
The government has constructed 86 million toilets since 2014, reducing the number of persons who openly defecate from 550 million to fewer than 150 million in 2018.
Different cities are awarded “The Cleanest City” awards. According to the recent survey, Swachh Survekshan 2018 conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) pan India, the three cleanest cities of India are Indore, Bhopal, and Chandigarh. Swachh Survekshan 2018 is organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), under the sponsorship of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) to keep a check on the cleanliness and sanitation levels of different cities across India. The main focus of this survey is to foster a spirit of competition among the cities and offer an overall assessment of their sanitation status.
Already we are in the last lap of the campaign and all efforts are on to achieve the targets.

Traditional Marketing versus Digital Marketing

Traditional Marketing versus Digital Marketing (Part I)

A lot has been talked about the benefits & advantages of Digital Marketing over its counterpart Traditional Marketing. New Year 2018 is at the door step. It’s time we think of further exploring the benefits of Digital Marketing. We need to board the Digital Marketing Express or else will be left behind if we still continue to ride on the bullock cart of Traditional Marketing. Traditional Marketing will gradually move out of our lives, making way for Digital Marketing.

Traditional marketing is the usual modes of marketing that have been used for a long period of time. The Traditional way of marketing includes:
  1. Television.
  2. Newspaper/Magazines.
  3. Radio.
  4. Flyers and billboards.
  5. Mailing.
On the other hand Digital Marketing is comparatively new way of marketing. Digital Marketing or Online Marketing is done with the help of internet, virtually. The Digital way of marketing includes:

1.     Social media channels such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube,      Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ etc.
2.     Promotion with the help of emails.
3.     Websites
4.     Blogs
5.     Online Videos/Advertisements 



In the race of excelling in interaction, responsive, cost efficiency, spread, speed etc., Traditional Marketing is losing grounds to Digital Marketing.
