He urged the Department of Rural Development to strive hard to achieve the first rank in this Mission.
Governor observed that it becomes imperative that, in the next phase of this Mission, widespread awareness is created regarding use of the toilet facilities created at our homes so that we can become open defecation free in the true sense.
He appealed to people of the State to become active participants in the Swachh Bharat Mission and contribute in making their surroundings, villages, towns, and cities clean and polythene free.
He particularly urged the students and the teachers, many of whom participated in the programme, to become part of this noble cause.
Governor observed that being a clean country would enhance India's standing in the world and boost our image as a desirable eco-friendly tourist destination. He wished high success to the Mission.
