While speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that keeping our surroundings clean and neat is our moral and social responsibility and we should contribute our bit to Swachh Bharat campaign. He said that although people maintain cleanliness and hygiene at individual levels, the need of the hour is to join together to make the entire district clean. He said this has to be people’s movement and participation on voluntary-basis can only make this drive a success.
The Minister emphasized the role of youth in motivating others about the significance of living a healthy and hygienic life which is possible only when we will take care of our surroundings as we take care of ourselves. He exhorted upon the need of collective approach towards such social causes which ultimately affects individual lives.

He exhorted upon the people to supplement government’s initiatives of making a perceptible change on ground level and achieve the goal of a clean India.
The Minister appealed the people to avoid wastage of food and ensure that any surplus food is provided to the lesser privileged in the society.
