About the Contest
The Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti in collaboration with MyGov is organizing a Comic Story Making Campaign for Swachhata under Swachh Bharat Mission that represents a transformative phase in India’s sanitation narrative, driven by a history enriched with ancient innovations and bolstered by contemporary governmental efforts. Initiated in 2014 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, the mission targeted making India Open Defecation Free (ODF). This massive exercise successfully mobilized nationwide participation, marking it as the largest behavioural change movement globally.
