Abstract
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA), launched on 2 October 2014, is India’s
flagship national cleanliness campaign aimed at eliminating open defecation,
improving solid waste management, and fostering community engagement for
sustainable sanitation (Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, 2015 [15];
Gupta, 2016). This study evaluates the socio-environmental impact of SBA
through a structured questionnaire administered to 100 respondents across urban
and rural settings. Data analysis includes ten frequency tables and bar graphs
illustrating awareness, participation, satisfaction, and perceived impacts.
Findings indicate high awareness (Table 1), but mixed satisfaction with local
sanitation (Table 3) and government support (Table 8). The study contributes
empirical insights on SBA’s efficacy and suggests strategic interventions to
strengthen community participation and infrastructure maintenance.
