We initiated Rangrezz last year with a specific theme of ‘Swachchh Bharat’ where in we received tremendous response from the students, and schools. This year, with a new theme of ‘Swachchh Hum Swasth Hum’ we have covered over 400 schools and over 1 lakh 50 thousand students in our 17 cities. Personal Hygiene is the second most important habit that we wanted to propagate on Clean India.

The zeal, the glimmer of hope in their eyes, and their determination to win is noteworthy. We have decided to do this activity regularly, every year. Rangrezz in its season 2 is a much bigger, larger and is helping us share the message of personal hygiene. Chief Minister of our state is unveiling the winner pics.”
