What is the theme of the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign?
- A.Swachhata Mein Sahbhag, Swachh Bharat, Viksit Bharat
- B.Sampoorna Swachhata
- C.Swabhav Swachhata, Sanskaar Swachhata
- D.Swachh Bharat, Swasth Bharat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Swachhata Mein Sahbhag, Swachh Bharat, Viksit Bharat. Both the Department of Food and Public Distribution and the Ministry of Textiles named this as the theme of the current campaign, and described it as an appeal to treat cleanliness as a collective effort and a festival of community involvement. Option B is wrong because that phrase is not the theme announced for this edition. Option C is wrong because although it sounds close to the language used in such campaigns, it is not the theme named in these releases. Option D is wrong because it is a general slogan and not the theme declared for this year. Themes of national campaigns change every year, so aspirants should always link the theme to the year and to the campaign name together.
