The purpose of investment is always to get the benefit. Similarly, investing in cleanliness is also done. For example, investment of toilets, waste collection and waste management is invested by the people and the government.
The purpose of this investment is to establish cleanliness and get a healthy life. Healthy and healthy life is the reward of this investment. Apart from this, if the collected waste is disposed of in a proper and scientifically manner, then we can also get such products as organic fertilizer and also produce electricity.
So far the success of Swachh Bharat Mission
Swachh Bharat Mission was started on October 2, 2014. Since October 2, 2014, more than 50 million toilets have been constructed in the country under this mission.
As many as 6 states, 217 districts and more than 2.5 lakh villages have been declared as open defecation in the open till December 30, 2017.
The condition of cleanliness in the country was 39% on October 2, 2014 which has increased to 69% by the present time.
What kind of economic losses have to face due to lack of cleanliness?
One study by the World Bank has proved that due to lack of cleanliness, India has to suffer more than 6 percent of its GDP.
Similarly, another study of the World Bank has estimated that nearly 40 percent of India's children are mentally and physically less developed due to lack of hygiene.
If the physical and mental development of such a large number of children is blocked, then the country will get a weak human resource so that we cannot get the benefit of 'Demographic Dividend'.
UNICEF has also studied the economic effects of sanitation. According to this, every family in the open-defecation village in the open, save about 50,000 rupees per year in terms of the cost of treatment, time and life of the family.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that investment in cleanliness brings health as a reward and leads to proper physical and mental development.
