Highlights Of 12-Hour #SwasthyaMantra Telethon With Amitabh Bachchan For A Healthy India
For six years, NDTV and Dettol India have been talking about and promoting the need for a clean and healthy India through Banega Swachh-Swasth India campaign. In 2019, after leading a very successful Swachhta (Cleanliness) initiative, the campaign moved the conversation from Swachh to Swasth (Health) because only a clean India can become a healthy India. Helmed by NDTV's Dr Prannoy Roy and campaign ambassador Amitabh Bachchan, the campaign over the years has talked about various issues such as making India open defecation free, the need for WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) programmes, waste management, recycling, menstrual hygiene and plight of manual scavengers, to name a few. The campaign also highlights the importance of nutrition and healthcare for women and children to prevent maternal and child mortality, fight malnutrition, stunting, wasting, anaemia and disease prevention through vaccines – all the components which are needed to make India a healthy country.
In wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, this year, it has become imperative to revisit the core values of the campaign and restart the conversations on hygienic practices, especially hand washing and cleanliness.
In the seventh year, Banega Swasth India campaign will focus on three pillars to make the world safe and healthy – Health, Hygiene & Sanitation, and Environment.
Here are the Highlights of the #SwasthyaMantra Telethon:

The juncture where we are today, hygiene is very important. It is said in the holy book that even if we want to find the God, we need to be clean. Human being has become arrogant and is competing with the environment. The Holy Scriptures say that air is our teacher, soil is the mother and water is father. Everyone attached with Sikh institutions are taught cleanliness needs to be practiced and environment conservation is supreme. Every student is required to plant at least 10 trees each.

I founded the World Toilet Organisation 20 years ago. At that time, people were shy about talking about toilet. Today, hygiene and sanitation has become a talking point. We need to promote this habit. Toilet is the cheapest medicine in the world. In the Singapore journey, in 1965 when we became an independent country, we did not have money to build hospitals but we started cleaning the rivers, the road, toilets, everything clean and immediately we were able to save a lot of lives. Then we moved on to cleaning the mind-set of the people and today we have almost no corruption, ours is a very trusted country and we were able to clean up the mafia-secret societies also.

Mahatma Gandhi believed that health is the true wealth and not gold and silver. So two things I want to highlight, one, public health preparedness. How quickly the lab capacity was expanded in India. So it is all about preparedness, infrastructure, capacity. Second,is people. Because, now people are adhering to preventive measures. People are also changing their lifestyles by incorporating exercises, lowering tobacco consumption, increasing nutrition.

I think what we are undersatnding today is that we cannot discount the environment. We need to make sure that we have our economic progress but also our right to breathe. Lungs are the most vulnerable when it comes to pollution. What COVID tells us is that the environment is very important. The relationship between environemnt, clean water and health. You have to make sure that water is not polluted and there is access to clean water. Most of the people do not have access to clean water, which is extremely important for the agenda of fighting the pandemic
