Following is the text of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi’s message on Swachh Bharat. 

“Dear Friends, 

I am sure you have heard time and again that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Alas, things are often different when it comes to putting this into practice. 

On 2nd October we are launching Swachh Bharat Mission, a massive mass movement, that seeks to create a Clean India. Cleanliness was very close to Mahatma Gandhi's heart. A clean India is the best tribute we can pay to Bapu when we celebrate his 150th birth anniversary in 2019. Mahatma Gandhi devoted his life so that India attains 'Swarajya'. Now the time has come to devote ourselves towards 'Swachchhata' (cleanliness) of our motherland. 

I urge every one of you to devote at least hundred hours every year, that is two hours every week towards cleanliness. We can't let India remain unclean any longer. On 2nd October I myself will set out with a broom and contribute towards this pious task. 

Today, I appeal to everyone, particularly political and religious leadership, mayors, sarpanchs and captains of industry to plan and wholeheartedly engage in the task of cleaning your homes, work places, villages, cities and surroundings. I request your active support and participation in our collective quest to make a Swachh Bharat.”

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the power of determination and hard work
March 06, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that the people of India, through their firm resolve, make even the most difficult tasks possible. He noted that with tireless effort in the right direction, they achieve even the biggest goals.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“यद् दूरं यद् दुराराध्यं यच्च दूरे व्यवस्थितम्। तत् सर्वं तपसा साध्यं तपो हि दुरतिक्रमम्॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that no matter how far, difficult, or out of reach a goal may seem, it can be achieved through firm determination and continuous hard work. Determination and patience are the forces that turn the impossible into possible.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“भारत के लोग अपने दृढ़ निश्चय से किसी भी कार्य को संभव बना देते हैं। सही दिशा में अपनी अथक मेहनत से वे बड़े से बड़े लक्ष्य को भी हासिल कर दिखाते हैं।

यद् दूरं यद् दुराराध्यं यच्च दूरे व्यवस्थितम्।

तत् सर्वं तपसा साध्यं तपो हि दुरतिक्रमम्॥”
