Union Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday defined the full form of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name.

Speaking at the launch of a guide book on Swachh Survekshan (Sanitation Survey) of 500 Cities, Naidu said, "MODI means Making Of Developed India."

"Prime Minister Modi has made it clear that Swachh Bharat should become a Jan Andolan, not a government programme," he added.

Swachh Survekshan 2017 would be conducted by the Ministry of Urban Development in January 2017 to rank SDO cities/towns with a population of one lakh and above in the country to encourage cities and towns to actively implement the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban initiatives in a timely and innovative manner.
