India is proud of our Safai Karamcharis. It is these countless individuals who are the forefront of keeping India Swachh.
During his visit to the Kumbh in Prayagraj on 24th February 2019, PM Narendra Modi did something that will be etched in the memory of the entire nation.
PM Modi interacted with Safai Karamcharis and washed their feet.
This showed the reverence PM Modi has for the Safai Karamcharis. It shows here is a Prime Minister who cares about each and every Indian, who values the work done by every citizen and who will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of India.
PM Modi talked at length about good work of the Safai Karamcharis in keeping the nation clean. He also appreciated the arrangements at the 2019 Prayagraj Kumbh, especially on the cleanliness front.
The Swachh Bharat Mission has become a powerful people’s movement, strengthened by active participation from all walks of life. The sanitation coverage, which was a poor 38% in 2014, has risen to 98% in 2019. It is not uncommon to see people undertake numerous mass campaigns to boost cleanliness across the nation. The active support of young India in making the nation clean is also heartening.
This video of PM Modi washing the feet of Safai Karamcharis along with photographs will leave you touched.
