Earlier this month, on October 2, which marked the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatama Gandhi and was also celebrated as Rashtriya Swachhata Diwas, the government declared the rural areas of India free from the age-old tradition of open defecation. PM Modi addressing the nation that day announced that more than 60 crore people in 60 months have been provided with toilets and the government has made more than 11 crore toilets. He said,
The whole world is amazed by this. I am satisfied that on the occasion of Gandhi at 150, we are witnessing the fulfillment of his dream of ‘Swachh Bharat’. I feel lucky that on this occasion when India has successfully stopped open defecation, I’m here at the ashram.

Earlier in 2018, Kajol has also lent her support for the plastic ban in the state of Maharashtra. The actor strongly believes that one of the first steps to save the environment is to ‘say no to plastics’. Back in 2018 while supporting the government’s decision, the actor said,
The government has done a fantastic job of implementing this ban. Now it is our time to do our bit to save the planet.
