We are lucky to have our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi by our side. Here is what he had in bag for us:
"Everyone likes cleanliness but no one thinks it is their responsibility. Everyone is concerned about their personal hygiene but not many of us look after social hygine.
Cleanliness is not just for something to look good, it has a lot to do with health. 1.5 million children under the age of five die from infectious diseases every year, which can easily be prevented by washing hands with a soap.
Children need to be made part of this, all the people need to be made part of this so that this is not just something that you contribute through, this should become a habit.
For a country in which about half of the population lives in the basin of river Ganga and an economy which derives 40% of its GDP from these areas, saving the river becomes even more vital.
The movement is growing every day, a lot of celebrities are contributing to this and we can also see quite a few startups trying to turn waste into wealth.
If we impact children enough, change can come as soon as 5-7 years. Once, in an event called "Kachra Utsav", school children gathered waste and turned it into musical instruments.
We need these minds to be a part of this movement. I feel India can reach heights through cleaning, but this needs to be turned into a habit. Indians have been careful in resource utilization, this needs to be taken for forward.
I congratulate everyone who is part of this mission. From our side, we will make special efforts to turn this mission into a movement."
Let's live by his words and do everything we can to turn this into a movement and rejuvenate our river Ganga.
