Parameswaran Iyer, Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, says that the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has entered its fifth year. Mr Iyer thanks Mr Bachchan who has been at the forefront of the campaign nationally. The national sanitation coverage has increased from 39 per cent to 83 per cent. More than 350 villages have become ODF and in the Prime Minister's words, the movement has become a Jan Andolan. More than four and a half lakh Swachhagrahis are working towards cleanliness. The progress has been good, but there is more work to be done.
