The world is heating up. As cities swelter and water resources shrink, communities across India are responding with innovation, resilience and hope.

This World Environment Day, Dettol #BanegaSwasthIndia (DBSI) celebrates practical, people-centered solutions that protect health, strengthen resilience and create lasting behaviour change.

For over a decade, Dettol Banega Swasth India has worked at the intersection of health, education and community resilience. What began as a programme to introduce handwashing and essential hygiene practices in schools has grown into a movement anchoring hygiene as a foundational public health habit.

𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 & 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞

Ravi Bhatnagar, Director, External Affairs and Partnerships at Reckitt – South Asia, says, "From 2,500 schools in 2014 to reaching two-thirds of India’s schools today, Dettol Banega Swasth India has transformed hygiene from a concept into a culture—anchored in measurable impact and sustained behavioral change."

Dettol Banega Swasth India Honoured with Kaleido Awards 2026!

Dettol Banega Swasth India (BSI) has won the ‘Persistent Long Running Campaign’ award at the ET Kaleido Awards 2026 — a powerful recognition of India's longest-running public health campaign.

This isn't just an award. It's validation of 11+ years of relentless commitment to making health and hygiene second nature for millions of Indians.

WHY THIS CAMPAIGN MATTERS?

Since its launch in 2014 in partnership with NDTV, Dettol Banega Swasth India has transformed health behaviours across the country with the vision of ‘Clean India Leads to a Healthy India’ and alignment with UN SDG 2030's ‘Leave No One Behind’ principle.

REAL IMPACT, REAL LIVES TRANSFORMED
- 26 MILLION children reached
- 9,00,000 schools now have access to the Dettol Hygiene Curriculum
- 41.6% reduction in school absenteeism

BEYOND HYGIENE: A HOLISTIC HEALTH MOVEMENT

Banega Swasth India has evolved far beyond awareness. It has addressed: hand hygiene, handwashing, open defecation, nutrition, maternal & child health, environment & climate, and much more.

THE VISION: TRIPLE IMPACT BY 2026

BSI has committed to reaching 47 MILLION people by 2026 — tripling its social impact with bold goals.

→ 100% primary schools in India with Dettol Hygiene School Curriculum
→ Hygiene Impact Bonds covering all aspirational districts of Uttar Pradesh
→ Reach 10 million youth by educating them on sexual health and well-being
→ Environment and Climate Change projects in the Eastern Himalayan Region and Ganga River Basin
→ Climate resilience projects protecting vulnerable communities
→ Development of India’s first Climate Resilience Index

This award celebrates the powerful collaboration between Reckitt and NDTV.

WHAT MAKES THIS CAMPAIGN SPECIAL?

1️⃣ Behavior Change, Not Just Awareness
BSI moved beyond telling people to wash hands — it made hygiene a habit. 38 million handwashing occasions created, one small victory for health, dignity, and hope.

2️⃣ Scale With Depth
From 2,500 schools in 2015 to nearly 1 million classrooms today — scaling without losing impact.

3️⃣ Inclusion at Its Core
Reaching marginalised communities often left out of public health conversations — transgender communities, North Eastern States, aspirational districts.

4️⃣ Science-Backed, Community-Driven
Working with teachers, parents, health experts to ensure interventions are evidence-based and culturally relevant.

5️⃣ Sustainability Mindset
Creating sustainable products, protecting the environment, and building climate resilience while improving health.

Here's to over 11 years of impact, and to many more years of building a prosperous, healthy India where every child, every mother, every family has access to the basics of health and hygiene.
