Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi will join the nation
tomorrow in celebrations of the concluding ceremony of Centenary of
Champaran Satyagraha in Bihar.
He will address 20,000 Swachhagrahis or the Ambassadors
of Cleanliness in Motihari on this occasion. Swachhagrahis are the
‘foot soldiers’ and motivators to implement the Community Approaches
to Sanitation (CAS) at the village level. Swachhagrahis are key to driving
progress towards achieving an open defaecation free nation.
Mahatma Gandhi launched the Champaran Satyagrah over a
century ago, on 10th April, 1917 against the Britishers
to fight for the rights of farmers who were forced to undertake indigo
cultivation. April 10th, 2018 marks the end of the centenary
year celebrations of the Champaran Satyagrah, and is going to be celebrated
through the “Satyagrah se Swachhagrah” campaign.
Prime Minister will also unveil several development projects
on this occasion.
