10-year-old contributes Rs 1000 for PM Modi's Clean Ganga Mission

In a heart-warming gesture, a 10-year-old boy from Chennai sent a sum of Rs 1000 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Alongwith the money, he also wrote a letter to PM Modi. The boy in his letter asked PM to use the money for Centre's Clean Ganga mission.

G Shashank from Nadippakkm, Chennai, in his letter to PM, says that 'Ganga is a religious river', and we (citizens) should not use plastic bags or polythene bags. He also invited PM Modi to his house. 

In the letter, Shashank writes that he won Rs 1000 as first prize in devotional Sanskrit competition.
