Dr. Babasaheb has been the motivator for clean garments, home hygiene, clean work. Sant Gadse Baba had spread public awareness for cleanliness, use of toilet facility and public sanitation in rural provinces. Suryakant Parikh was working for cleaning public roads, pay and use facilities etc. Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak has opposed the work of raising the assimilation of the lower caste people. It has inspired the renovation of toilets. Successful efforts have been made to train the sweepers. Dr. Pathak has always been working in the context of social upliftment, human rights.
