Speaking about the Swachh Bharat Mission, the Prime Minister said that YouTubers have made cleanliness more “cool”.

“Swachh Bharat became a big campaign in the last nine years. Everyone contributed to it, children brought an emotional power to it. Celebrities gave it heights, people in all corners of the country turned it into a mission and YouTubers like you made cleanliness more cool. Till the time cleanliness does not become India’s identity, we won’t stop. Therefore cleanliness must be a priority for each one of you,” Modi said.

On digital payments, the Prime Minister asked his fellow YouTubers to teach people to make digital payments in simple language through their videos.

The Prime Minister also asked YouTubers to make an emotional appeal to people through their videos to urge them to buy local products.

“You can promote them also through your work and help in making India’s local turn global. Inspire others also, make an emotional appeal that we will buy the product that has the fragrance of our soil which has the sweat of a labourer or artisan of our country,” he said.
