PM Modi retweets

PM Modi retweeted tweets by Reliance Foundation and Tata Group highlighting the cleanliness work undertaken by them in various parts of the country. "Heartening to see people coming together for cleanliness across urban and rural India," he wrote re-tweeting a tweet of Reliance Foundation. The Prime Minister also retweeted a Tata Group tweet. PM Modi, on being elected the Prime Minister for the first time in 2014, had launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to promote cleanliness in the country which just not aims to attract the tourists but also improve the health, safety, and dignity of hundreds of millions of Indians.

Last week, PM Modi was conferred with the 'Global Goalkeeper Award' for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in New York. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or the Clean India Mission, was launched by PM Modi on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary on October 2, 2014. Reliance Foundation, headed by Mukesh Ambani's wife Nita Ambani, is one of the largest private foundations in the country.
