Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Serum Institute of India Pvt ltd, one of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturers and appreciated all efforts undertaken as part of ‘Adar Poonawalla Clean City Initiative’ for Swachh Bharat Mission.
Adar Poonawalla, CEO, Serum Institute of India, said, “We are honoured and privileged to have hosted the Prime Minister during his recent visit to our facility. During the visit, he stressed that more companies should come forward to produce such vaccines so that poor children could be protected from diseases. We further briefed him on our Clean City initiative. He was impressed and said that it was a good initiative under the Swachh Bharat Mission.”
With an investment of Rs.100 crore as CSR funding from Serum Institute of India and Adar Poonawalla, the initiative promotes the idea of clean city. It has been successfully implemented through scientifically collecting and removing garbage from city streets.
