Kindly also refer to the Joint DO letter of DDWS and MoH&UA regarding observance of Swachhata Hi Sewa (SHS) campaign from 17th September, 2025 which culminates on 2nd October, 2025, observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas (SBD), as a tribute to Father of the Nation, on his Jayanti. Theme of SHS-2025 is ‘Swachhotsav’.
The key focus areas of the SHS 2025 campaign are:

v. Advocacy: Swachh Sujal Gaon, Waste to Art, Clean Street Food, RRR Centers, etc.
Considering the significance of Swachhata in schools and to sensitize the children and community members about the cleanliness through school and community-based nitiatives, it has been decided to observe Swachh Bharat Diwas (SBD) in all the schools across the country by organizing an intensive Swachhata Hi Sewa (SHS) campaign – 2025 from 1 17th September to 2nd October wherein the schools will conduct the following suggestive activities with the focus on the key areas as mentioned in SHS 2025 campaign:

Further, in order to give adequate social media outreach to the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) 2025 campaign, including Shramdaan activity, must be well documented and with high resolution photography and videography. Pictures of on-ground activities are to be uploaded on the link given below. States/UTs may widely use a tagline ‘Swachhotsav’ on social and print media while promoting the campaign and may also share the participation details of the students and schools with the Ministry.
Further, like previous year this year also nationwide shramdaan, Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath’ is proposed on 25.09.2025 with a call to action to citizens for joining hands for the nation’s cleanliness. It is requested to all the nodal officers appointed for the Swachhata Pakhwada for timely update the Google tracker/ SHS portal. The details of the Google tracker/ Portal will be shared with you shortly.
In view of the above, I urge you to direct all your respective schools to proactively participate in the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) 2025 campaign and turn it into a huge success and also share the participation status with this department regularly.

Yours sincerely,
