Hyderabad: ‘One Lakh Hands Campaign’ was successfully launched in the city on Wednesday at the Meridian School in Banjara Hills. Joint Secretary, Union Ministry of Urban Development, Subha Thakur also attended the event along with Foundation for Futuristic Cities and Advisor for Smart Cities Karuna Gopal.
The aim of the campaign is to reach 100 Government and Private schools in the next two months through meetings, mails and spread the message of cleanliness in the city.
At the event, Ms. Thakur said, “We started this as a pilot project and hope to take this across the country soon because children are the best ambassadors to spread the message of ‘Swachh Bharat’ and to make it successful we need to go for a behavioural change. This is everybody’s mission.”
She added, “We have a target of building one crore toilets across the country and the target is October 2, 2019 which will be Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary.”
