Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Ministry of Coal and Mines, along with its regional offices, actively participated in the *Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) Campaign 2026*, a nationwide initiative under the *Swachh Bharat Mission*. Launched under the leadership of Secretary Shri Keshav Chandra with a *Swachhata Shaptah*, the campaign emphasized collective responsibility in maintaining cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and public participation. Key activities included the rejuvenation of 136 *Swachhata Targeted Units (STUs)*, cleaning 59 public spaces, and organizing health camps for sanitation workers. Over 10,723 participants contributed to these efforts, highlighting the ministry’s commitment to dignity, welfare, and environmental stewardship.
For banking and SSC aspirants, this initiative underscores the importance of government-led social welfare programs and their impact on public infrastructure and hygiene. RBI Grade B candidates should note how such campaigns align with broader economic goals, such as reducing healthcare costs through sanitation and promoting sustainable practices. The campaign also reflects the role of ministries in fostering *Jan Bhagidari* (public participation), a concept relevant to governance and policy implementation in competitive exams.
