Cleanliness is India’s Brand Today
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Mahatma Gandhi loved cleanliness the most. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has elevated sanitation to new heights through the Swachh Bharat Mission. Under the Swachh Bharat Mission, 120 million toilets have been built across the country. This has honored women’s dignity, prevented diseases, and saved people financially. The Chief Minister stated that today, cleanliness is our identity and India’s brand.

Prime Minister Shastri made the world realize India’s strength.

He was a staunch follower of Bapu and a proponent of self-reliance through Swadeshi. Shastri provided a model for self-reliance in the agricultural sector. He strengthened the resolve for self-sufficiency in the food sector with the slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.”

He also conveyed the message that India stands for peace, but if anyone imposes war on it, it will be given a befitting reply. The victory achieved under Shastri’s leadership in the 1965 war against Pakistan demonstrated the country’s strength to the world.
