Children's Day with a difference: Our exciting week in photos

Children's Day in India is celebrated on November 14th every year. 
This year  the celebrations had a new theme : Clean India -Clean Schools   

The Clean India Campaign was launched by Indian PM Mr Modi on Mahatma Gandhi's Birth Anniversary October 2nd. 
Cleanliness -A very basic lesson really. Something we all were taught in 1st Grade in School.
But as it happens with most basic things, when we grow up we tend to forget to practice them in real life. 

Mr Modi leads the way by cleaning the street

Day #1] The Cleanliness week was flagged off in the Municipal (inner city) schools of Mumbai by State Chief Minister of Maharashtra Mr Fadnavis on Children's Day
