President Kovind visits Kirti Mandir, Gandhi's birth place in Porbandar
President Ram Nath Kovind visited Kirti Mandir in Porbandar, Gujarat, the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi today and paid his tribute to Bapu on Gandhi Jayanti.
Porbandar: President Ram Nath Kovind visited Kirti Mandir in Porbandar, Gujarat, the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi today and paid his tribute to Bapu on Gandhi Jayanti.
Later, he addressed a function organised to declare Open Defecation Free (ODF) status for Rural Gujarat at Kirti Mandir.
The president said that it was a privilege for him to visit the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi on this auspicious day. By achieving the goal of Rural ODF status, Gujarat has paid true homage to Gandhiji. He congratulated Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and his team for the achievement.
President Kovind said that cleanliness is not the responsibility of only sanitation personnel and government departments; it is a multi-stakeholder national movement.
About 100 years ago, Gandhiji had tried to inculcate this by cleaning toilets himself. Achieving the goals of the Swachh Bharat Mission by October 2, 2019, will be an appropriate tribute to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, on his 150th birth anniversary. Today's achievement by Gujarat is a big step towards Clean India or Swachh Bharat, he added.
President Kovind also remembered Sardar Patel whose birthday too falls in this month, on October 31, and said that while Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of our independence movement, Sardar Patel was the sculptor of our national unity. It is impossible to imagine modern India without the contributions of Bapu and Sardar Patel. And both of these great men were Gujarat's gifts to India.
