On the occasion of Earth Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to save the Mother Earth and keep the planet clean and green.

Prime Minster Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Earth Day is an occasion to reiterate a firm resolve to keep the planet clean and green.

"Earth Day is a day of gratitude to mother earth," Modi said.

"It is our duty to live in harmony with the plants, animals and birds we share the earth with. We owe this to our future generations."

He hoped that this year's theme of 'Environmental and Climate Literacy' helps in creating awareness on protecting nature and natural resources.
