A great honour and privilege to serve under Hon’ble PM @narendramodi these last 4.5 years. His stunning announcement of the @swachhbharat mission on Aug 15, 2014 blew us away as we watched on TV in Hanoi. So lucky to get this job. He was kind enough to meet Indira and me today.

In this method of rain water harvesting, a filter is used for the rain water which is then collected in a sump and later used for general purpose. Installed in a school maintained by Madurai corporation. @JalShaktiAbhyan @gssjodhpur @swachhbharat

Local innovations! Unique baby friendly toilets with semi-open gate and handles from both inside and outside introduced in Anganwadis and primary schools in Mathura, to ensure that the children don’t get locked up inside. @swachhbharat

Honoured to felicitate Swachhagrahis in Motihari. Their efforts to strengthen the Swachh Bharat Mission are invaluable. Generations of Indians will thank these Swachhagrahis for dedicating themselves towards the movement for a clean India.

My piece in @htTweets on how the @swachhbharat mission has nudged rural Indian households into changing their habit of open defecation. Since 2014, 500 million people are now using toilets. Grateful to @R_Thaler and @CassSunstein for their analytical framework.

Visionary leadership of PM @narendramodi who thinks big and has delivered, in mission mode, the rapid development of Aspirational Districts and now Blocks. Also the hitherto neglected basic needs of our people, incl toilets, LPG cylinders, housing, bank accts and Har Ghar Jal.
