This cleanliness drive will be led by the state’s skill development department, and thousands of ITI students will participate to clean 750 villages across the state. The campaign is scheduled to be launched on September 17, at 11 am in Panvel taluka’s Gavhan gram panchayat. Notably, the inauguration will be done by skill development minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha.

“Cleanliness is one of the key pillars of a developed India," said Lodha, revealing details about the campaign. “PM Modi has called upon every citizen to participate in the Swachh Bharat mission. In Maharashtra, under the guidance of Fadnavis, we are taking that call forward through the participation of skilled youth from ITIs."

He further added that the infrastructure and resources are important. He said, “Cleanliness and health are closely connected. In a country with such a vast population, only public awareness and skilled participation can make Swachh Bharat a reality." As the nation is all set to celebrate PM Modi's birthday, the initiative is being marked as both a tribute to PM’s vision and a step toward creating a healthier and aware state.
