History

Historical Context

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, a nationwide sanitation drive that pledged construction of 100 million toilets. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs reported that by 2019, 92 percent of rural households accessed improved sanitation, surpassing the program’s 2015 target. Today’s Seva Sankalp Yatra, spanning 35,500 kilometres across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and six other states, mirrors Modi’s earlier mass-mobilization strategy to enlist youth in public-service projects. If the Yatra achieves comparable participation, it could embed service culture nationwide, echoing Swachh Bharat’s lasting impact on public health and civic responsibility.
