Taking one step more towards making India open-defecation-free, the Government today will launch a new campaign called “Darwaza Band” for promotion of toilet usage in the rural areas across the country.
During the launching ceremony in Mumbai, Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan who is leading the campaign, will be accompanied by Union Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation Narendra Singh Tomar and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Amitabh Bachchan, Swachh Bharat Mission ambassador, termed the campaign “Darwaza Band” a road-map to clean India.
Anushka Sharma, who also features in the campaign, will be seen encouraging women to take up a leadership role and stand up for the issue in their respective villages.
The campaign has been designed with the intention of bringing about a behavioural change in men who have toilets but do not use them.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
