PM Narendra Modi congratulates Fever FM for its latest Bharat Positive Initiative - #PlasticSeBreakUp

Fever FM is the fastest growing radio network in the country. The network enjoys dominant leadership across the markets it operates in, and is the destination station for youth, with focus on innovation and listener’s delight.

The network launched Fever Voice of Change (FVOC), the biggest CSR initiative in the history of radio, in February 2014. In the latest campaign, Fever FM has pledged to make India free from single use plastic, with its initiative ‘#PlasticSeBreakUp’. Drawing inspiration from Sri Narendra Modi’s message this Independence Day, the initiative urges all shopkeepers to do away with single use plastic bags.

I congratulate Fever FM for their innovative campaign to ensure reduced usage of single use plastic. I urge shopkeepers to take part in this campaign with vigour. Such efforts will add valuable momentum to the Swachh Bharat Mission! @FeverFMOfficial
