Awareness about cleanliness and sanitation should reach every village of this country. Cleanliness and sanitation should not be a one-time activity but should become a part of our daily life. All hospitals and government health facilities should endeavur to maintain cleanliness and hygiene throughout the year." Nadda also offered "shramdaan" (voluntary labor) and reminded the Health Ministry's "Kayakalp" initiative of 2015. He said, "It sets protocols for hygiene and sanitation at government health facilities in addition to implement the vision and philosophy behind Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
"Kayakalp does not apply only to physical cleanliness, but to develop and put in place systems and procedures for activities such as bio-waste disposal or protocols," Nadda said.
