Clean India Campaign: Kohli And Team Urge Citizens To Help India A Clean And Green

The Story

Three years ago, on Gandhi Jayanti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Mission with a vision of making India clean. The initiative focused on building toilets to obliterate open defecation and ensuring high-level management of municipal wastes.

The government has set a goal to achieve the Open-Defecation Free (ODF) India by 2019 with the help of constructing 12 million toilets in the country which will approximately cost Rs 1.96 lakh crore. The mission generated a huge buzz among citizens and can be termed as a useful move towards making cities hygienic.

Team India raises awareness

BCCI along with Kohli & Co. has actively contributed in the raising about the initiative put forward by the government in the past. From tweeting individual videos messages to picking up the brooms to clean up the venue which they visit, the stars have ensured to keep the buzz about “Clean India” alive.

Both the board and players don’t seem to stop and recently released a new video message to encourage the habit of managing waste properly.

The small clip, shared by the BCCI, shows skipper Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Ajinkya Rahane and coach Ravi Shastri conveying the message that garbage belongs to the bins and not the streets.

“There is no other place the garbage deserves to be other that the dustbin. We and the Indian cricket team are in full support of the Prime Minister and vouch for the “Swachta hi Seva” mission,” Kohli said.

“So, let us all hands and make India a cleaner and a better place to live in,” Shastri pitched in.

Here is the video:
