On the occasion of the Earth Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today hoped that awareness would be created about protecting nature and natural resources.

“Earth Day is a day of gratitude to Mother Earth & a day to reiterate our firm resolve to keep our planet clean & green,” he tweeted.

“It is our duty to live in harmony with the plants, animals & birds we share the Earth with. We owe this to our future generations,” he added.
