Abstract Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission), launched in 2014, aims to eliminate open defecation, improve solid waste management, and promote hygiene awareness across India. The campaign has made significant progress nationwide, but the outcomes vary across regions depending on administrative efficiency, community participation, and infrastructure. This study evaluates the implementation and impact of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in Manikandam Block of Tiruchirappalli District, focusing on sanitation infrastructure, behavioral change, and waste management practices. Using secondary data and field-based insights, the study analyzes the effectiveness of the mission in achieving its objectives and identifies challenges in sustaining cleanliness and hygiene. The findings suggest that while awareness and sanitation facilities have improved, gaps remain in waste segregation, community monitoring, and long-term behavioral transformation. The study concludes that continuous education, people’s participation, and decentralized waste management are vital for achieving the vision of a truly clean and healthy India.
Keywords Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, sanitation, solid waste management, open defecation, hygiene awareness, Manikandam Block, Tiruchirappalli District, community participation, rural development, sustainable cleanliness.
