This campaign kicks off on October 2, and continuing that tradition, we’ve started our own cleanliness drive here. ‘Swachhata’ means ‘Swachh Bharat’, ‘Swasth Bharat’, and ‘Viksit Bharat’. Just like the Prime Minister launched the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ 10 years ago, we organized a small event today at SAI Guwahati to keep that going. Around 300 school kids, officials, athletes, and coaches participated here. We’re really happy that people actively took part in the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’,” he said. (ANI)
