FollowPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (September 29) called on people across the country to participate in a cleanliness drive on October 1, beginning at 10 am. In a tweet, PM Modi emphasized that Swachh Bharat (Clean India) is a collective responsibility and that every effort contributes to this important cause.
The "Ek Tareekh, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath" campaign is a significant cleanliness initiative to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti. It serves as a precursor to the "Swachhata Pakhwada- Swachhata Hi Seva" 2023 campaign. This initiative is an extension of PM Modi's call for one hour of "Shramdaan for swachhata" (voluntary cleanliness work) at 10 am on October 1 by all citizens.
