New Delhi, Apr 9 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the nation on Monday in celebrations of the concluding ceremony of Centenary of Champaran Satyagraha in Bihar.
He will address 20,000 Swachhagrahis or the Ambassadors of Cleanliness in Motihari on this occasion. Swachhagrahis are the ‘foot soldiers’ and motivators to implement the Community Approaches to Sanitation (CAS) at the village level.
Swachhagrahis are key to driving progress towards achieving an open defaecation free nation.
Mahatma Gandhi launched the Champaran Satyagrah over a century ago, on Apr 10, 1917 against the Britishers to fight for the rights of farmers who were forced to undertake indigo cultivation.
Apr 10, 2018 marks the end of the centenary year celebrations of the Champaran Satyagrah, and is going to be celebrated through the “Satyagrah se Swachhagrah” campaign.
Prime Minister will also unveil several development projects on this occasion.
