Abstract:
The current study, "Awareness of Rural People about Swachh Bharat Abhiyan," was conducted in two Kanpur Nagar blocks; three villages were chosen at random in each block, and 25 respondents were chosen in each village. In all, 150 people were chosen at random from two blocks of six villages. In total, 43.3 percent of respondents were between the ages of 30 and 40, and 40.7 percent possessed educations up to the intermediate level. The study reveals that after the launch of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, awareness levels among rural people about cleanliness, hygiene, solid waste management, and lavatory use increased, which in turn decreased disease or mortality rates in rural areas. This campaign helps maintain environmental sustainability. The impact of awareness campaigns for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has been significant in improving rural sanitation.
