Toilet must be as clean as the temple with constructive outcome based competition between the two. Cleanliness is next to godliness. But the challenge to make a habit of being both mentally and physically clean.

Government should open garbage and polythene bag collection centres and any person can bring polythene bags and that will be electronically weighed and paid accordingly immediately. In this way, people who removes garbages will be rewarded and people won't throw garbages and instead make money by depositing it in the garbage centers. Atleast for a limited period of time such garbage collection centres should be open if the swacch bharath campaign to succeed.

Garbage bins in Bus stands and railway stations can be made interactive. A mini speaker with pre-recorded messages like" Thank You" and other "fortune messages" like "your Day will be excellent today", can be attached to the garbage bins. Whenever a person opens a bin to drop a garbage, the speaker will get activated and wish him good luck and say thank you. In this way people will start using garbage bins to hear the fortune messages. About 300 messages in all local languages can be prepared.

In major areas of India, Pan chewing and spitting contributes to the dirty look. Pocket Pan pouches can be designed similar to the napkins with sponge and high capacity absorption. The pan chewer can spit the chewed pan in the pouch and can dispose of the pouches in a garbage. All pan sellers should be mandated to give a pouch every time to the buyer whenever pan is bought. The Pan pouches can also be made freely available in public places in major pan chewing areas.

All the polluted rivers should be installed with buoyant floating nets at the upstream and downstream of major cities. These floating nets can easily trap dead bodies. Electric crematoriums should also be installed near such floats and the dead carcasses trapped by the net should be regularly removed and disposed. This will prevent the decomposition of the dead carcasses and causing pollution in the major rivers. This will also eliminate the ghastly sight of decomposing and floating dead bodies.

Open drainage in majority of Indian town/cities is the main cause for the mosquito breeding. All open drainages should be covered and an efficient effluent collection and treatment plant installed at every town/cities.

In India, Panchayat and city sweepers use outdated brooms and sticks to clean the streets. Cycle/tricycle fitted brooms or pedalling brooms should be developed. Easy garbage lifters, that requires minimum effort should be designed. This can improve the efficiency of our swaach karacharis. Every year, “Swaach Karamchari day” should be celebrated to appreciate the work done by the marginalised section of our society towards the cleanliness.

The animals hit by speeding vehicles on our national Highways are crushed until their body parts become part of the road. This gives a bad smell and ghastly look during road travel. A system is already in place to remove the dead corpses but ineffective. A dedicated corpse removal department can be set up under the national Highways with carcass removal van and phone numbers can be displayed along the road for intimation by the drivers to the officials about any dead corpses.

Remove the concept of fair in pricing or try to explain the word fair in pricing. This will make Bharath swachh in quick time. Do not allow any private property in Communists states like kerala.
