NEW YORK - Despite strong resistance and condemnation from the international community, human rights watchdogs and Nobel laureates, Indian PM Modi awarded with 'Global Goalkeeper Award' by Gates Foundation.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday was conferred with the 'Global Goalkeeper Award' for the 'Swachh Bharat' campaign, from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The award was presented by Bill Gates on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
On receiving the award, PM Modi credited the honour to the Indians, saying that they not only fulfilled the 'Swachh Bharat' dream but also made it a part of their daily lives.
"This honour is not mine but of the crores of Indians who not only fulfilled the Swachh Bharat dream but also made it a part of their daily lives," said the PM.
