Kalam asks BHU students to clean up Ganga
Friday, March 07, 2008 21:10 [IST]

Varanasi: Throwing a challenge of sorts, former President A P J Abdul Kalam today asked the students at Banaras Hindu University to "clean up" the Ganga river and set an example for others in the drive to rid the river of pollution.

"Will you take up the call of Ganga to clean it up, at least, in Kashi?," Kalam, who was taking a class at the university, asked the students.

"You represent the youth power, you can bring the change in the society, technology and even the management, so why don't you rise up to the occasion and clean up the holy Ganga, at least in Kashi?," the ex-president said.

He asked thousands of students sitting to attend his lecture to go for "Mission Clean Ganga".

Citing an example of Punjab, where the disciples of a "baba" cleaned a 160-km long river after he instructed them, Kalam stressed that the initiative for cleaning Ganga would be revived if BHU students were to take it.
