Speaking on the occasion Dr Mariguddi said, “After honorable PM Modi gave call for Swacchata  Abhiyan, several institutions and groups took up the drives. But they did not continue and could not sustain. Uniqueness of Ramakrishna Mission, Mangaluru lies in its consistent and continuous efforts  in carrying out the drives. Along with this they have maintained the same zeal and intensity as in the  beginning, which makes the Mangalore experiment unique and  has become a model for the whole nation to emulate. I congratulate Mangalore citizens for this on behalf of writers of North Karnataka”
