Hence Awareness has to be created among public. This Abhiyan by volunteers is nothing less than Karmayoga. Its proud to see many youngsters and  volunteers dedicating their valuable time in spite of several other pressing engagements for such selfless endeavours as Abhiyan. Its good to see so many like-minded people and groups engaged in this single task of cleaning the nation.”
