New
Delhi, Oct 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday appealed to the
people to support the Swachh Bharat Mission, saying Mahatma Gandhi's dream of a
Clean India would not be realised without their participation. 'Swachh Bharat
won't come true even if a 1,000 Mahatma Gandhis, 1 lakh Narendra Modis, all
Chief Ministers and governments come together. It'll be done by 125 crore
Indians,' Mr Modi said. Addressing a special event to mark the 3rd anniversary
of Swachh Bharat Mission at Vigyan Bhavan, the Prime Minister said, 'Criticise
me but spare the Swachta campaign.' He said there should be no politics over the
drive. The Swachh Bharat Mission 'is about both 'Vyavastha' (systems) and
'Vichar' (thought process and mindset),' he stressed, adding that the 'dream of
a Swachh Bharat will be realised by 125 crore Indians, not a select group of
leaders or officials.' India faced challenges but that did not mean 'We run
away from them. We will face them and work to overcome them,' he added. On the
occasion, Mr Modi gave away the Swachhta awards to 20 individuals and
organisations. Reflecting on the success of the campaign, he said a positive
competitive environment had been created due to the Swachh Bharat Mission as
seen in cleanliness rankings and how organisations work on cleanliness. More
