Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded retired government employee Chandrakant Kulkarni for donating one-third of his pension to the Swachh Bharat Kosh.
“A retired government employee giving almost a third of his pension for a Swachh Bharat. What can be a greater inspiration?” he said while addressing the nation in the 21st edition of his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.
Kulkarni yesterday presented 52 post-dated cheques worth Rs 2,60,000 towards the Swachh Bharat Kosh to Prime Minister Modi during the latter’s visit to Pune.
