A STUDY ON STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION IMPROVEMENTS IN MUMBAI UNDER SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN

This study explores students' perspectives on cleanliness and sanitation improvements in Mumbai under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA). Data was gathered from students across various educational institutions to assess their awareness, participation in cleaning programs, and the initiative's overall impact. Findings indicate gradual improvements in sanitation, though waste management and public restroom facilities remain major concerns. While student involvement in cleanliness campaigns is moderate, opinions on government initiatives are mixed. The study highlights the importance of sanitation education and active student participation in promoting lasting behavioral changes that contribute to a cleaner environment.
