"Cleanliness is next to Godliness"
– Mahatma Gandhi
Sanitation and hygiene are two important components related to health. At an individual level and also at a collective level, both become crucial in disease prevention, reducing mortality rate, improving quality of life, better health demographics and building a robust society where members are capable of fully realizing the opportunities of life.
Good sanitation practices such as proper waste disposal, personal hygiene habits, avoiding open defecation & urination, construction of public toilets, sanitation at home & work places are some of the ways for improving sanitation and building a clean and healthy society. In this context, proper education, alternatives to existing conditions, awareness programmes and adequate motivation to opt for healthier practices is significant.
MyGov Arunachal Pradesh invites you to share suggestions on how to increase community awareness and participation, and improve the quality of sanitation in both urban and rural areas in Arunachal Pradesh.

Sanitation, Hygiene and health should be treated as a very important chapter and must be included in Value Education. Value education must be compulsorily included in the curriculum in schools right from primary level to higher level of education. There should be no hesitation in including it even at college and university levels. Awareness camps must be held across the state at various levels regularly and frequently. Health experts and doctors should participate in creating awareness.
