Rampur’s Patwai village in the spotlight on ‘Mann Ki Baat’; PM Modi praises the youth-led initiative

Patwai village in Rampur was mentioned in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, and a small initiative by the village’s youth quickly became a topic of discussion across the country. The ‘Clean-up Patwai’ campaign was started by just two friends, but today, around 15 young people are involved in the drive. Instead of merely complaining, these youths took the initiative to bring about change themselves, undertaking the task of cleaning everything from village lanes to the banks of the Ganges, ponds, and public spaces.
