He said that recently "in any country, such a campaign was not heard and seen. This campaign was started by our government, but the people themselves took the command in their own hands. I believe that the success of the Swachh Bharat Mission is above any figure. If this mission provided the most benefit to anyone, it would be for the poor of the country, the women of the country". PM Modi said that India is ready to share its experience and expertise with cleanliness with other countries of the world.

He said that "I am also happy with this contribution of India to the world because we have considered the world as our family. For thousands of years, we have been taught that the liberal Charitanam to Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. That is, for the big-minded, for the big-hearted, the whole earth is a family".
