New Delhi, Oct. 9 (ANI): The Ministry of Urban Development, seeking to convert the Swachh Bharat Andolan into a mass programme has launched an online community network.

Taking the help of 'LocalCircles', a community social media platform, the social media platform will enable citizens to easily come together, exchange ideas on cleanliness, take up appropriate cleanliness activities in their neighbourhood, share pictures of collective efforts, engage with elected representatives and take the cleanliness campaign forward.

Further, it will enable participants to know about the best practices for adoption. Further, it also enables considered and collective inputs to the implementing agencies on a regular basis on issues like garbage collection and disposal, promotion of civic sense and interventions, if any, required from the concerned agencies.

The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 2, focuses on sanitation, hygiene and waste management. It includes sweeping, removal of garbage, debris and unauthorised encroachments from roads, markets and residential places and aims at making India a clean country by 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
