Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs participates in Swachhata hi Sewa campaign

Today, the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (MoPA) actively participated in the countrywide launch of the Swachhata Hi Seva Campaign 2026. Spanning a fortnight from 17th September to 2nd October 2026, this initiative is being observed by every department and ministry under the Government of India. The campaign seeks to reinforce the spirit of cleanliness, hygiene, civic responsibility and citizen participation towards realizing the vision of a Swachh Bharat.

To kick off the event, MoPA Secretary, Nikunj Bihari Dhal led Ministry officials in taking the cleanliness pledge. In his opening remarks, he urged that cleanliness and hygiene should not be viewed merely as a campaign-bound activity, but as a continuous, year-round responsibility and a collective way of life.

The Ministry will also participate in the nationwide Shramdaan initiative under the call “Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath” on 1st October 2026, further reinforcing the message that cleanliness is a shared responsibility requiring collective action. (updated on 17th september 2026)
