The Government of India has recently taken some commendable steps recently in order to keep our environment clean. These initiatives have been carried out in the best interest of citizens and have certainly progressed and shown some remarkable achievements over a period of time.

For those who may or may not know, these initiatives have proved themselves helpful and are yet to achieve greater heights. So here's a list that makes us think of the number of things that can be done in unison to keep our surroundings clean:

The Odd-Even Rule

Amidst all the claims being made over this initiative, Odd-Even rule achieved partial success in what they set out to do. It significantly helped in reducing traffic congestion in Delhi.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign launched on 2nd October 2014 with an objective of cleaning India and it aims to eradicate open defecation by 2019. The government released cleanliness ranking for 73 cities on 15 Feb 2016 with Mysuru ranking on the 1st place, New Delhi on 5th place, and Greater Mumbai on 10th place

Clean Ganga Project

This is a wonderful initiative taken by the Modi government but sources claim that they'd implement it post May 15 and we'd see the effective results somewhere in the month of October this year.

Bijli Bachao

Bijli Bachaoliterally translates into 'Save Electricity'. This project encourages using home appliances that consume less of electricity and contribute more towards conserving it. The government also plans to install rooftop solar panels in Maharashtra and Karnataka for now

Shauchalya Yojna

Shauchalya Yojna too is a part of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Prime Minister Modi has claimed to make India an Open Defecation free country by 2019 by building 12 crore toilets in rural India. So far, Punjab is the first state to be called open defecation free state.
