Prior to the launch of the Clean India drive, Thakur said that it would be the ‘largest cleanliness drive of the world.'
Under the initiative, the Union Minister said that over 75 lakh tonnes of waste, primarily plastic waste from across the nation will be collected and further processed in a Waste to Wealth model before 31 October.

Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry has started an initiative to collect 75 lakh kilograms of plastic and waste from October 1 to 31. Collected over 30 lakh kilograms across the nation within 10 days."
