Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called on people to participate in the ongoing online auction of gifts he has received at public events, saying the proceeds will support the Namami Gange programme. The auction features a variety of cultural and creative works reflecting India’s heritage. Modi said the initiative offered the public an opportunity to contribute to river conservation while celebrating Indian artistry. “Over the past few days, the online auction for the various gifts I have received during my different programmes has been underway. The auction includes very interesting works which illustrate the culture and creativity of India. The proceeds from the auction will go towards Namami Gange. Do take part in the auction,” he said in a post on X. The Namami Gange project is the government’s flagship initiative for cleaning and rejuvenating the Ganga River.
