This year’s theme, ‘Swachhotsav’, highlights cleanliness as a collective celebration. The Ministry and its affiliated organizations are conducting an array of initiatives focused on hygiene, environmental conservation, and civic awareness. The theme encourages employees, students, civil society groups, and local communities to participate actively in building a cleaner environment.
Cleanliness Drives Across Ports and Coastal Areas
As part of SHS 2025, cleanliness drives are underway at port premises, dockyards, coastal regions, and public areas. The Ministry is mobilizing its workforce and local communities to remove waste, promote sustainable practices, and improve hygiene standards across maritime and urban spaces.
Community Engagement and Awareness Activities
Alongside physical cleaning, the Ministry is conducting awareness campaigns to educate citizens about waste management, recycling, and sustainable living. Interactive sessions, workshops, and community activities aim to instill a sense of responsibility and encourage long-term behavioral changes in sanitation practices.
These initiatives align with the broader objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission, strengthening community participation and environmental stewardship.
Reinforcing Commitment to Cleanliness
Through Swachhata Hi Seva 2025, the Ministry reiterates its commitment to fostering a culture of cleanliness and sustainability. Officials emphasize the importance of collective action in achieving a cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant environment, particularly around maritime zones that are critical to India’s economy and ecology.
Looking Ahead
The Ministry calls on all stakeholders, including port employees, civil society, and local communities, to actively participate in the campaign. By integrating awareness, practical cleanliness efforts, and community engagement, SHS 2025 aims to leave a lasting impact, promoting environmental responsibility and public participation nationwide.
