Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of cleanliness as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi during his recent Mann Ki Baat radio address. As the country prepares to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, PM Modi called on citizens to actively engage in cleanliness initiatives, reflecting Gandhis ethos of hygiene and sanitation.
