GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated the Clean, Green and Fit Village campaign initiated by MyGov Assam in association with ONGC and Assam Volleyball at Guwahati Volleyball Training Centre at Judges’ Field in the city on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister urged the people of the State to make the campaign successful so that Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a clean and green India could be realized in its true spirit. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in his very first Independence Day speech in 2014 to make India clean and green by 2019 synchronizing with 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi and it turned into a mass movement, he stated.
According to a prewss release, referring to Prime Minister Modi’s emphasis on sports as reflected by the tagline ‘kheloge toh khiloge’, Sonowal urged the players to strive hard and bring laurels to the nation as sports could unify people cutting across social divides. Dr Bhupen Hazarika also said through his songs that the whole world was a playground and youth must take up sports as a way of life for achieving their full potential, he said.
