On which day does Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 culminate with a nationwide Shramdaan?
- A.15 September, observed as Swachhata Diwas
- B.17 September, observed as Sewa Diwas
- C.2 October, observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas
- D.31 October, observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2 October, observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas. The campaign began on 17 September 2026 and closes on 2 October 2026 with Shramdaan across the country, honouring the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and carrying forward the aim of making cleanliness a way of life. Option A names the date on which the preparatory phase of Special Campaign 6 started, not the closing day of Swachhata Hi Seva. Option B names the opening day of the campaign rather than its final day, so it inverts the fact being tested. Option D names the day on which Special Campaign 6 ends; that campaign, run by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, only begins when Swachhata Hi Seva closes, so the two dates must not be mixed up.
