My experience in these activities inspired me to participate in this competition and I am extremely excited to travel to Delhi to meet Mrs. Smriti Irani. My teachers and classmates also helped me a lot in developing my thoughts and framing my ideas for this competition. I’d like to dedicate this award to my city and urge every Indian to actively do their part in keeping the country clean “said Aman in a telephonic interview.

To help create a cleaner India, it is imperative that every Indian, young and old, takes up this cause in right earnest and do their part to achieve this vision. Our children are our future and the zeal and passion they have demonstrated towards this initiative is a lesson for all of us to participate actively in making this dream come true. We are very happy for Aman and hope that he serves as an example to all the children in Begusarai and inspire them to achieve many more laurels for the city and the state.”
