In accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Finance, Government of India, the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva 2026’ campaign will be organised by all banks across the country from 17 September to 02 October 2026 with the objective of promoting cleanliness, public participation, and collective responsibility towards sanitation. The theme of this year’s campaign is “Swachhata Mein Sahbhag – Swachh Bharat, Viksit Bharat”.
It was stated by Ramkishor Meena, Deputy General Manager of the State Level Bankers’ Committee, Punjab, that during this campaign in Punjab, ensuring the active participation of citizens, local bodies, government departments, institutions, social organisations, and various communities, various activities including special cleanliness drives will be organised at public places, high-footfall areas, and Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs).
The primary objective of the campaign is to promote public participation, along with creating a clean and healthy environment, and encouraging the concept of prosperity through cleanliness ‘Kabaad se Jugaad – Waste to Wealth’ and circular economy. The campaign commenced on 17 September with a cleanliness pledge taken by all bank employees.
During the campaign, various special cleanliness activities focused on inclusivity and social welfare will be organised. Meanwhile, on 1 October, Shramdaan activities will be organised across the country at 8 AM with the call of “Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath”, and Swachh Bharat Diwas will be celebrated on 2 October.
Similarly, during the campaign, plantation programmes will be organised under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, and special attention will be paid to the health, safety, and welfare of sanitation workers by organising ‘Safaimitra Suraksha Aur Samman Shivir’. In these camps, health check-ups, distribution of necessary safety equipment, and other welfare activities will also be promoted.
For the successful execution of the campaign, an appeal is also made to general citizens to actively participate in cleanliness activities, cooperate in keeping public spaces clean, and not limit cleanliness merely to a campaign, but make it an integral part of daily life. “Participation in cleanliness is the strength of Swachh Bharat, and Swachh Bharat is an important step towards a Viksit Bharat.”
