What is Ek Tareekh Ek Ghanta Ek Saath?
It is an initiative focused on hardcore cleanliness activities, specifically shramdaan (voluntary labor) for the purpose of promoting cleanliness and sanitation in India.
The goal is to mobilize citizens to come together for one hour at 10 am on 1st October and work towards cleaning various public places.
This effort is meant to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, whose Jayanti (birthday) falls on October 2nd, and to honor his vision of a clean and hygienic India.
