Mahatma Gandhi had connected India with principle and practice in the true sense. He emphasized on Indians becoming self-reliant by using indigenous clothes and products. He adopted the symbol of spinning wheel, promoted Khadi. He ran many small and big campaigns for cleanliness. Following his path, on Gandhiji’s birth anniversary on October 2, 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was started as a national movement across the country. We can pay our true tribute to Gandhiji by contributing to the creation of a clean and self-reliant India.
