Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has made cleanliness a national priority. This initiative not only changed the environment for maintaining cleanliness but was also recognized as exemplary by several countries. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi, India has established itself as an economically strong nation and is now also gaining recognition as a clean country.
Now there is competition among states and cities for having excellence in sanitation. It is a matter of pride for the state government and the people of Madhya Pradesh that the state is now counted as the cleanest in the country. It is due to Prime Minister Shri Modi’s leadership and guidance that municipal corporations are now moving faster toward becoming metropolitan cities.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing 5th State-Level Sanitation Awards and Workshop "Swachhata Samagra Samaroh" held on Tuesday at Ravindra Bhavan. He honoured sanitation workers. A short film on the cleanliness campaign was also screened. The Minister of Urban Development and Housing, Smt. Pratima Bagri, was also present.
