IFFCO’s Phulpur unit launched Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in which several Iffco employees participated. The Phulpur unit of IFFCO which recently bagged a prestigious environment award from the government of India has a history of being in the front when it comes to the issues of environment and cleanliness.
The employees took up jhadu and began to clean the town motivating others to join the campaign. IFFCO MD Dr U S Awasthi has earlier motivated his employees to participate in large numbers soon after the Prime Minister launched the cleanliness campaign on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October 2014.
Encouraging the Iffco employees the MD tweeted again “I am happy to know that officers association of #IFFCO Phulpur conducted #SwachhBharatAbhiyan with participation from all.”

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) is a national campaign by the Government of India, covering 4041 statutory towns, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country.
The campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself cleaned the road. It is India’s biggest ever cleanliness drive and 3 million government employees and school and college students across India participated in the event.
The mission was started by Prime Minister Modi, who nominated nine famous personalities for the campaign, and accepting the challenge they in turn nominated nine more people and thus (like the branching of a tree) it has been carried forward with people from all walks of life joining it.
