Cleanliness is key to health. It is next to godliness. It is essential for physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual well-being. Healthy mind resides in healthy body. Swachh Bharat Mission and Swachhata Pakhwada is being taken up to fulfill the objectives of cleanliness. The most important part is that we should take a swachhta pledge and materialize in our daily life.

Swachhta Pledge
Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of an India which was not only free but also clean
and developed.
Mahatma Gandhi secured freedom for Mother India.
Now it is our duty to serve Mother India by keeping the country neat and
clean.
I take this pledge that I will remain committed towards cleanliness and devote
time for this.
I will devote 100 hours per year, that is two hours per week, to voluntarily
work for cleanliness.
I will neither litter not let others litter.
I will initiate the quest for cleanliness with myself, my family, my locality, my
village and my work place.
I believe that the countries of the world that appear clean are so because their
citizens don't indulge in littering nor do they allow it to happen.
With this firm belief, I will propagate the message of Swachh Bharat Mission
in villages and towns.
I will encourage 100 other persons to take this pledge which I am taking today.
I will endeavour to make them devote their 100 hours for cleanliness.
I am confident that every step I take towards cleanliness will help in making
my country clean.
