PM said "Getting the award in the year of Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary is personally significant for me. When 130 crore people take a pledge, any challenge can be overcome”. Furthermore he dedicated the award to those Indians who transformed the Swachh Bharat campaign into a "people's movement" and accorded topmost priority to cleanliness in their day to day lives.



modi added "No such campaign was seen or heard about in any other country in the recent past. It might have been launched by our government, but people took control of it". Furthermore as a result, over 11 crore toilets were built in the country in the last five years, which was a record. When stressing that the success of the campaign could not be measured in numbers, the prime minister said the poor people and the women of india were benefited the most by it.
