Under the cleanliness campaign, what is a Swachhata Samvad intended to serve as?
- A.A platform for dialogue and discussion to widen participation in cleanliness work
- B.A competition ranking offices by the waste they dispose of
- C.An inspection by an external audit team
- D.A lecture series delivered by sanitation engineers
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a platform for dialogue and discussion to widen participation in cleanliness work. The action plan for the day envisages the Samvad in exactly these terms, so that awareness about hygiene and sustainable waste management spreads through conversation. That is why the organisers set aside the usual lecture format and instead invited participants to describe practical problems at home, at work and in the areas around them, and to offer suggestions. Option B turns the exercise into a ranking contest, which is not its purpose. Option C describes an external inspection, whereas the Samvad was an internal and voluntary discussion. Option D is the very method the organisers deliberately avoided, since a one-sided lecture would not have drawn out the experiences of those present. The session closed with a collective commitment rather than an assessment.
