The correct answer is: A. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, also known as the Clean India Mission, is a nationwide cleanliness campaign launched by the Government of India on 2 October 2014. The campaign aims to clean up the streets, roads and infrastructure of India’s cities, towns, and rural areas. It also aims to improve sanitation facilities and to change the civic sense of the people of India.
The villages of Palwal and Faridabad were chosen for initiating the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan because they were among the most polluted villages in India. The campaign has been successful in improving the cleanliness of these villages. The villagers have also become more aware of the importance of cleanliness and sanitation.
