Apr 15 (BNP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called upon people to adopt nine collective pledges focused on building a healthier, cleaner, and more developed India, while addressing a public gathering in Mandya, Karnataka.

Modi further stressed the importance of maintaining cleanliness in public and religious places, promoting local products through the “Vocal for Local” initiative, and encouraging domestic tourism.
