Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 Ends on Swachh Bharat Diwas

The correct answer is 17 September 2026. The campaign opened on that date with the taking of the Swachhata pledge and ran as a fortnight-long drive that ended on 2 October 2026, the day observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas. Through the fortnight offices held cleanliness drives, door-to-door awareness visits, drawing competitions, walkathons, plantation under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam and cultural activities such as Nukkad Natak and slogan writing. Option A is wrong because the campaign had not started at the beginning of September. Option C is wrong because that date fell in the last stretch of the drive rather than at its start, when officials joined sweeping work on the eve of Swachh Bharat Diwas. Option D is wrong because it falls in the middle of the fortnight, after the pledge had already been taken. The pair of dates to memorise is 17 September to 2 October.

The correct answer is 157th. On the concluding day of the campaign the Department offered floral tribute to the Father of the Nation on his 157th birth anniversary, the date that is observed across the country as Swachh Bharat Diwas. Option A names the anniversary that was marked in an earlier year and is often remembered because of the sanitation targets attached to it, so it is a tempting distractor, but it is not the one marked here. Option B names an anniversary that had already passed before this campaign. Option D names an anniversary still in the future. Candidates should link three things together for this date: Gandhi Jayanti, Swachh Bharat Diwas and the closing day of Swachhata Hi Seva, and should be able to state the anniversary number asked for in the year under study.

The correct answer is Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE. The Shramdaan was organised at a PM SHRI school in New Delhi under the aegis of Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE and was led by the Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy, with students, teachers, senior officials and officers of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan joining in. The drive covered the school campus, the community space next to it and the park facing the school, and was followed by a plantation programme under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0 and a quiz on the Solid Waste Management Rules. Options B, C and D name other well-known school-level programmes of the education sector, but none of them was the banner under which this cleanliness drive was conducted. Remember the pairing of Eco Clubs with Mission LiFE in school-level environment activities.
