We can say swachh bharat abhiyan, a nice welcome step to the clean and green India till 
2019. As we all heard about the most famous proverb that “Cleanliness is Next to 
Godliness”, we can say surely that clean India campaign (swachh bharat abhiyan) will 
really bring godliness all over the country in few years if it is followed by the people of India 
in effective manner. So, the cleanliness activities to warm welcome the godliness have been 
started but do not need to be ended if we really want godliness in our lives forever. A 
healthy country and a healthy society need its citizens to be healthy and clean in every 
walk of life.
