The main objective of the village cleanliness program is to improve the health status of the people in rural areas. With the aim of making the people in rural areas feel that this program is their own and convincing them of its importance so that they participate spontaneously, Sant Gadge Baba Village Cleanliness Campaign, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Swachh Gram Vrijep 2000-2001 is being implemented.
Also, since 2002-03, an initiative was started to give special awards to Gram Panchayats at taluka, district, division and state levels for outstanding performance in specific areas related to sanitation and rural development. Since 2018-19, new guidelines are issued every year from the government level.
Accordingly, from the year 2018-19, in the Sant Gadge Maharaj Gram Swachhta Abhiyan competition, prizes are being given to the best wards at the Gram Panchayat level and the best Gram Panchayats doing significant work in the field of sanitation in the Zilla Parishad.
