President of India flags-off march for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan at Rashtrapati Bhavan
New delhi . The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee flagged-off a march for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan today (October 2, 2016) at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Addressing the gathering, the President said that synchronizing the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan with Gandhiji’s birthday is most appropriate as he had always emphasized on adoption of cleanliness in our daily lives.
