In Punjab, the Swachhata Hi Sewa campaign is witnessing great enthusiasm among the masses. Prominent figures, including politicians and district administrators, launched the campaign across all 23 districts on 15th September. Various state government departments including department of Water Supply and Sanitation have joined forces to organize cleanliness drives and disseminate messages about keeping our surroundings clean to achieve the goal of a 'Garbage-Free India'. These activities were carried out at public places like markets, zoological parks, city parks, and small water bodies in cities and villages; and also, in institutional premises such as Anganwadi centers, schools, and government offices across the state.  
 
Akashvani correspondent reports that so far, over 64 lakh people in this state have participated in over 10,800 activities, contributing around 3.63 crore man hours and approximately 10,000 images have been uploaded on the Swachhata Hi Sewa portal. Repairing, painting and cleaning of sanitation assets brought rural and urban volunteers together for a common goal in their respective areas.
 
Awareness activities and Information, Education, and Communication campaigns were conducted among school children to promote clean and hygienic habits and proper garbage disposal through the 'Hara Geela Sookha Neela' campaign. Swachhata pledges and activities focused on waste-to-wealth objectives to ensure children become responsible citizens and contribute to a circular economy were also organised at the school level.
