3. ANNA HAZARE: RISE OF NEXT
MAHATMA GANDHI

4. “Early Life”

6. • His days in the army were often spent in
reading books by Swami Vivekananda,
Mahatma Gandhi and Acharya Vinoba Bhave,
from whom he drew inspiration.
• During the 1965 war against Pakistan, Hazare
survived an attack on his post; however, he
saw his colleagues dying.
• The incident left a deep impact and he
pledged to remain a bachelor and serve the
country in a bigger way.

7. Achievements:

8. • His struggle for bringing about change began in
his own village. A long time ago it was a
miserable and barren place with scanty rainfall
and lacking any economy. It suffered from
frequent droughts.
• In 1975, Hazare initiated a transformation of his
village through watershed development using
nallah bands, check dams and contour trenches
that raised the water table and helped villagers
irrigate their fields. He also took up literacy
programmes and measures to combat
alcoholism.

10. War against corruption:

11. • Anna formed the ‘Bhrashtachar Virodhi
Jan Andolan’ in 1991 which gradually
spread across the state in the form of
district-level vigilance committees.
• With his trademark khadi dress and
Gandhi cap, Hazare used his ingrained
strength to repeatedly go on hunger
strikes that led to the resignation of six
ministers from the Maharashtra
government.

12. • In 1995, Hazare's fast led to exit of two
state Cabinet Ministers, labeled corrupt by
the Gandhian and the Sena-BJP
government was forced to drop them.
• Hazare did not spare the Congress-NCP
regime either and in 2003, went on hunger
strike against four ministers, Sureshdada
Jain, Nawab Malik, Vijaykumar Gavit and
Padamsinh Patiln, alleging they indulged
in massive corruption.

15. 2012 anti corruption movement
2012 anti corruption movement started with the first
mass gathering at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on
25th March, 2012. Team Anna and Public of India
was again ready to protest against Corruption. In
this regards thousands of volunteers were working
in grassroot. Everybody attached with this
movement expected the Government of India to
take some strong actions against Corruption. The
motto of this mass movement was to create a big
pressure among Government to take some strong
decision related to demolishing Corruption in
India.

16. Today Anna Hazare is ready to put his
life on the line for the YOUTH – for
US, so that we live in a corruption
free country with equal rights. In a
country where 4 crore people live
below the poverty line and half of
the politicians bathing in money now is the time to end all of this. We
are not progressing as oppossed to
other nations because of this
corruption seed.
