PM Modi encouraged school children to adopt the hygienic way of living. “We all are a part of a campaign now, 'Gandagi, Bharat Chorho'. I am happy to see that you are interested in issues of cleanliness. We have to step out and carry out our business and still safeguard ourselves from Corona. For this we have to wear masks, maintain 6 ft distance and avoid spitting in the open," he said.

"The whole world is coming forward to adopt the values and principals of Mahatma Gandhi. When Gandhi Ji's 150th birth anniversary was celebrated last year, that was unprecedented. Singers of different countries learnt & sung his favourite song Vaishnav Jan To," PM Modi said.
