The mission that Hon’ble Prime Minister has taken up to create "Swacch Bharat" by 2019 i.e. 150th Birth Anniversary  Year of Mahatma Gandhi cannot be achieved without creating awareness among the public. But thanks to the works and initiatives of CCL, who has taken the onus of achieving this goal in Jharkhand, Hon’ble Governer added.

In Jharkhand every child has potential like Dhoni and Deepika, and credit to CCL for providing these kids with opportunity and resources to harness their potential, she said while admiring CCL’s CSR projects in the field of Sports. She also acknowledged various welfare works of CCL in different fields. CCL should create adopted village into a model, which will act as inspiration for villagers and other corporate houses.

In his welcome address, CMD, CCL Shri Gopal Singh said that the presence of Hon’ble Governor today is inspiring and will motivate us to step up our efforts for creating "Swacch Bharat". It is our honb’le PM who has taken the stride to fulfill the dreams of Father of our Nation i.e. Mahatma Gandhi of “Clean India” and CCL will not leave any stone unturned to achieve this dream, he added with confidence. Shri Singh advised that Cleanliness is a process; it is an idea that needs to be nurtured. Cleanliness should not only be physical but should be ensured at mental level also, through healthier and rational thinking.

We are striving towards creating an inclusive society, through our different welfare schemes, which are case studies in themselves, Shri Singh added.
