Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) concluded the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva-2026’ campaign on 2 October 2026, marking a nation-wide initiative focused on cleanliness and awareness. Launched on 17 September 2026 with a cleanliness pledge, the campaign involved various activities such as cleanliness drives in government offices, door-to-door awareness campaigns, art competitions, walkathons, tree plantation under ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’, cultural programs like poetry recitals and street plays, and collective cleanliness efforts like ‘Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath’. The campaign culminated on Mahatma Gandhi’s 157th birth anniversary, observed as ‘Swachh Bharat Diwas’, where officials paid floral tributes and honored sanitation workers for their contributions.
This initiative aligns with broader national goals of cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and public participation, reinforcing the importance of civic responsibility. For aspirants preparing for Bank PO, IBPS, SBI, RBI Grade B, and SSC exams, understanding such government-led campaigns is crucial as they reflect policy priorities and governance initiatives. Questions on cleanliness drives, public welfare schemes, or environmental sustainability may appear in sections covering polity, governance, or current affairs. Additionally, awareness of such campaigns can help candidates in interviews or descriptive papers where knowledge of government programs and their impact is assessed.
