Bill Gates Shares Photo From India Visit, Says He's Inspired Every Time

Darpan News Desk, 01 May, 2017 01:04 PM
    American business magnate Bill Gates on Monday shared a photograph of his recent visit to India.
     
    He also said India keeps inspiring him every time.
     
    In a tweet, the world's richest man tweeted: "I try to visit India at least once a year. I’m inspired by something new every time.”
     
    The picture shows him taking an auto rickshaw ride around the India Gate.
     
    Since he posted the photograph, the tweet has garnered a whopping 10,000 'likes' and over 2,800 retweets.
     
    The business mogul and philanthropist's tweet also links to his most recent blog in which he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat campaign, which aims to end open defecation by 2019.
     
    Referring to PM Modi's first speech on Independence Day three years ago, Mr Gates says in his blog: "I can't think of another time when a national leader has broached such a sensitive topic (open defecation in the country) so frankly and so publicly."
     
    "What I love most about Clean India is that it identified a big problem, got everyone working on it, and is using measurement to show where things need to be done differently," he adds.
     
     
    While his words for PM Modi won him a lot of love online, his tweet about visiting India and being inspired by the country has also touched a chord with people.
     
    "Sir really happy and feeling proud to read your this tweet. We Indians should also introspect to see growth and prosperity within ourselves," says one commenter on the tweet. "Awesome Sir. It's wonderful to have such a great person visit our country," says another, not unlike many others.
