The Prime Minister interacted with students and actively participated with students in the “Swachhta Abhiyan” initiative. He interacted with students about the benefits of Swachhta around us. He also asked the students about Yoga and asked a few students to perform some asanas. Students sang Swachhta Song which was appreciated by the Prime Minister.
As the Swachh Bharat mission was launched by the Prime Minister at Valmiki Basti in New Delhi Municipal council area, this bestowed a lot of responsibility on the NDMC being the heart of capital to keep its area clean and green in conformity with the vision of the PM.
On 2nd October, the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign culminated with Shramdaan activities at various key locations. It was a proud moment for NDMC as the Prime Minister joined the students of Navyug School, Pandara Park, leading by example in contributing to the cleanliness drive.
