They have lent their voices for the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ song. It released on 2 October, Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary. “I am very happy and excited that all of us got to be a part of such a noble movement. It is an honour to be a part of a national campaign of such a great nature and coming directly from the Prime Minister’s office is a matter of national pride for all of us,” Avanti said in a statement. “Music is a great way of connecting with people and I believe this little contribution from our end will help make a difference to make our country a better place to live.” Modi had launched Swacchata Hi Seva campaign on 15 September and had urged everyone to be a part of this movement and strengthen the efforts to create a ‘Swachh Bharat’.
