Gandhi Jayanti has since past few years taken a totally new dimension and meaning. Now, it is not about enjoying a day off from work, but to actually get going in pursuit of one of the many ideals propounded by Gandhi— Cleanliness is next to Godliness— by being a part of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBM).

Students and teachers of various colleges that fall within the purview of Rajasthan University cleaned the campuses as a part of the SBM campaign. They also took an oath to spend at least two hours a week for promoting cleanliness in the city.

Students from Maharaja’s College, Maharani’s College, along with NCC candidates also performed a Nukkad Natak to spread awareness about cleanliness.

On the occasion, health minister Kalicharan Saraf paid floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at the Secretariat. Chief secretary Ashok Jain, home principal secretary Deepak Upreti, principal secretary (chief minister) Tanmay Kumar, along with Jaipur police commissioner Sanjay Agrawal, were present during the event.

Saraf, along with minister of rural development and panchayati raj Rajendra Rathore, too paid floral tribute at Gandhi Circle.

Students and teachers of Gandhi Nagar-based Shahid Lft Abhay Pareek Government Girls Sr Secondary School, crooned Gandhi’s favourite songs. They also performed hymns like ‘vaishnav jan toh’, ‘payoji maine Ram ratan dhan payo,’ and ‘raghupati raghav’.
