\u201cYoung Indians are the biggest stakeholders of the Swachh Bharat movement. They have taken the responsibility to take forward PM Modi\u2019s vision. From the Red Fort’s ramparts, PM Modi launched this mission to transform India into Swachh Bharat. It aimed to transform our way of life, creating a deep behavioural change among all citizens. He talked about \u2018Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas Sabka Prayas,\u2019 showcasing how Indians rallied behind his vision for a Swachh Bharat,\u201d the minister further added.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari expressed that from the lens of skilling, \u2018Swachhata\u2019 too requires a specialized skill set. For context, if we take the example of solid waste management, it necessitates inheriting skills for segregating waste for disposal. Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has been imparting training with the help of local bodies and state governments in the areas of cleanliness. The focus also has been to empower our workers with modern and advanced machinery knowledge to instill a sense of dignity in their work for better societal outcomes.<\/p>\n
