There is need for making the country clean and tidy, said Union Minister for Urban Development M Venkaiah Naidu.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said Swach Bharat programme was not a political statement but a cultural movement involving all stakeholders, he said.
The government would focus on evolving public-private partnerships for the programme. “The funds under corporate social responsibility initiatives and local areas development funds available for Members of Parliament will be used for the purpose,” he said.
Effective measures should be taken for solid waste management, he said, adding that public-private partnership was required for achieving these objectives.
“I have spoken to all Governors, political leaders, religious institutions and celebrities to spread the message of this movement,” Naidu said.
One should not politicise the scheme and see it as a cultural renaissance, he added.
