To improve sanitation and to create awareness on cleanliness in villages for holistic development of rural regions, the Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat will launch “Swachh Shukrawar” programme in the district in July.
The programme, a part of Central government’s ambitious Swacch Bharat Mission, is aimed at educating the rural population on hygiene, waste management and making villages plastic-free and other related cleanliness issues in gram panchayats to transform Kalaburagi into a model district.
Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Girish D. Badole, speaking to The Hindu, said that school students, headmasters, teachers, members of school development and monitoring committee, local representatives, panchayat development officers, women self-help groups, National Rural Livelihood Mission staff, anganwadi workers, ASHAs and temple committee members will be roped in to create awareness about “Swacch Shukrawar”.
