Mission of Swacchagrahi achieves another milestone: Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra declared ODF
Ahmednagar, April 4: Yet another milestone achieved, Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra declared as Open Defecation Free. “A clean India would be the best tribute India could pay to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th anniversary in 2019,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the behest of his Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan.
Last year on 1st October Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis declared ‘Urban Maharashtra’ as Open Defecation Free on the 3rd anniversary of Swachh Bharat Mission.
