I urge all to inculcate cleanliness, both internal and external, in their life.” Prof. Ramya Shetty said, “ ‘Arise! Awake! and Stop not till the goal is reached, to quote Swami Vivekananda. We should not stop this till we achieve a clean Mangalore. It is a pleasure to see more and  more youth getting associated with such Abhiyans.
