The Mumbai Central Division of Western Railway is spearheading an extensive "Swachhata Hi Seva 2026" campaign across its stations, coaching depots, railway colonies, health units, and maintenance establishments. This nationwide initiative from September 17th to 20th, 2026 brought together over 4,100 participants, including railway employees, students, Bharat Scouts & Guides, voluntary organizations, civic bodies, and passengers.
Spanning four days, the campaign mobilized significant efforts resulting in the collection of more than 5.2 tonnes of segregated waste. Out of the 83 Clean Target Units, 23 sites covering 1,387 square meters were cleaned, with 1.19 metric tonnes of waste removed. Beautification efforts included turning 4 Swachhata-themed selfie points into tourist attractions.
Youth engagement played a crucial role, with interactive programs organized in 30 schools and educational institutes under the "Swachh Paathshala – Yuva for Swachhata" outreach. Students learned about Solid Waste Management Rules through debates, competitions, and exhibitions.
The campaign also tackled health concerns, with a cervical cancer awareness camp in Palghar and Safai Mitra Shivirs providing health check-ups and protective gear to sanitation workers. Collaborations extended to civic bodies and voluntary groups, with joint Shramdaan drives and tree plantation activities carried out across various locations.
Through these diverse efforts, the Mumbai Central Division aims to reinforce the message of "Swachhata Mein Sahbhag • Swachh Bharat • Viksit Bharat" as the campaign continues to make a tangible difference in cleanliness and awareness throughout the railway network.
