If a nurse finds that a patient’s abdominal wound has eviscerated, she should ________(a) Administer antibiotics(b) Position the patient sideways and call for help(c) Attempt to drain the site(d) Cover the site with saline-soaked sterile gauze |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (d) Cover the site with saline-soaked sterile gauze Easiest explanation: When an abdominal wound eviscerates, the organs actually have shifted and come out. In such cases, emergency medicine must be applied first. Using a saline soaked sterile gauze will control any infection and keep the wound as clean and harmless as possible. Keeping the bandage well soaked will ensure that the bandage does not stick to the wound and is easily removable otherwise pulling the bandage off can cause other complications. The further procedures are taken care of by the doctors. |

Which machine uses the temperature and pressure of the steam for disinfection?(a) Laminar Airflow(b) Autoclave(c) Oven(d) Water Jet |
|
Answer» Correct option is (b) Autoclave The explanation is: An autoclave produces steam at high temperature and maintains great pressure to destroy the microbes. The autoclave does heat and steam treatment of the instruments at 134℃ for three minutes or at 121℃ for fifteen minutes. This high pressure and high heat treatment help destroy a number of microbes. |

The three different cells found in the stomach(a) Chief cells, renal cells, nephron(b) Renal cells, mucous cells, hepatic cells(c) Nephrons, hepatic cells, parietal cells(d) Chief cells, parietal cells, mucous cells |
|
Answer» Right choice is (d) Chief cells, parietal cells, mucous cells Explanation: Chief cells are also called as zymogen cells as they secrete enzymes. Parietal cells are oxygentic cells and they secrete HCl to destroy the microbes and any other harmful substances. The mucous cells secrete mucous to protect the walls of the stomach being harmed by the HCl. It also allows for the smooth passage of food. |

To be approved for discharge from PACU, the patient should exhibit:(a) Normal breathing(b) No bleeding and swelling(c) Oxygen saturation of min 90(d) Temperature greater than 96.8 |
|
Answer» Correct answer is (d) Temperature greater than 96.8 To explain I would say: Patients recovering from surgery and anesthesia have lost physiologic homeostasis. They’re at risk for respiratory and circulatory deficits, reduced physical activity and alterations in core body temperature and level of consciousness. It is an essential condition for discharge to possess a core body temperature of not less than 36° C (96.8° F). |

What are all precautions taken for a patient directly out of surgery?(a) The injury should not be infected(b) The person must take a bath(c) The blood pressure should go down(d) The blood sugar should go up |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (a) The injury should not be infected The explanation: For a person directly out of surgery, the main concern is that the site of operation and injury should not be infected. An operated person is given a sponge bath if the need arises but mostly after surgery, they should keep away from water. The parameters that were observed before and during the surgery, the same parameters are monitored even after the surgery. |

What causes the pre-selected volume of air to flow into the patient by communicating directly with a breathing circuit?(a) Nebulizer(b) Microcontroller(c) Bellows(d) Humidifier |
|
Answer» Right option is (c) Bellows The best explanation: The bellows are like pumps that send in the air to the patient. They hold a certain volume of air and gives it to the patient at a certain pressure. They work like a normal pump, they suck air from the supply tank in a proportionate ratio and allow it to mix. Then, they force the air out from a tube and it is received by the patient. |

For how long can a heart lung machine be used?(a) 4 hours(b) 6 hours(c) 8 hours(d) 10 hours |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (b) 6 hours Explanation: A heart lung machine or rather a cardiopulmonary bypass machine is used during a cardiac surgery. The machine acts like the heart, it receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the body. It receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the lungs. However, since its a machine, various problems like clotting, leakage, air bubble etc may happen so it is recommended that the machine is not used for more than six hours. Under extreme precautions and severely critical cases, it can be used for ten hours. |

When a baby is born, why are they placed under UV lamps?(a) To reduce the possibility of skin disease(b) To reduce the possibility of jaundice(c) To ensure proper blood flow(d) To allow the bones to absorb nutrients |
|
Answer» The correct answer is (b) To reduce the possibility of jaundice For explanation I would say: After birth, the liver of an infant becomes very active. This is because the environment of the child changes completely and to ensure that the body is under no harm, the activity of the liver increases. This increased activity causes a rise in the production of bile pigments and causes jaundice. To ensure that jaundice does not harm the baby, a baby after birth is placed under mild UV light and kept for monitoring. |

Find the vector eq of the plane which passes through the points \( 2 \bar{i}+4 \bar{j}+2 \bar{k}, 2 \bar{i}+3 \bar{d}+5 \bar{k} \) and parallel to \( 3 \bar{i}-2 \bar{j}+\bar{k} \). Also find the point where this plane meets the joining the points \( 2 \bar{i}+\bar{j}+3 \bar{k} \) and \( 4 \bar{i}+2 \bar{j}+3 \bar{k} \)(Mar-2012) |
|
Answer» Given that required plane passes through points P(2, 4, 2) and Q(2, 3, 5) and parallel to a line whose direction ratios are 3, -2, 1. Now, direction ratios of line AB are 0, -1, 3 Let the direction ratios of normal to the plane are A, B and C. Since, point P and Q lie on plane, therefore line joining points P and Q is perpendicular to normal. ∴ 0 x A + (-1) x B + 3 x C = 0 (condition of two perpendicular lines) ⇒ -B+3C = 0 ⇒ B=3C .....(i) Since, given plane is parallel to line 3i - 2j + k ∴ Normal to plane is perpendicular o line 3i - 2j + k ∴ 3A-2B+C = 0 ⇒ 3A-6C+C = 0 (from(i)) ⇒ 3A = 5C ⇒ A = 5C/3 .....(ii) Hence, the direction ratios of normal to required plane are 5C/3, 3C, C or 5, 9, 3. (By putting C=3) Therefore, the equation of the plane is 5x+9y+3z = d, where d is perpendicular distance of origin from plane. Since, point (2, 4, 2) lies on plane. ∴ d = 2 x 5 + 4 x 9 + 2 x 3 = 10+36+6 = 52 ∴ Equation of required plane is 5x+9y+3z = 52. Equation of line joining the points 2i+j+3k and 4i+2j+3k is r = a+λ(b-a) ⇒ r = (2i+j+3k) + λ((4-2)i + (2-1)j + (3-3)k ⇒ xi+yj+zk = (2+2λ)i + (1+λ)j + 3k (∵ r = xi+yj+zk) ⇒ x = 2+2λ, y = 1+λ, z = 3 Hence, locus of arbitrary point on line joining points (2, 1, 3) and (4, 2, 3) is given by. (x, y, z) = (2(1+2λ)), 1+λ, 3j Since, line meets the plane, therefore equation of arbitrary point on line satisfies equation of plane. ∴ 5 x 2(1+λ) + 9 x (1+λ) + 3 x 3 = 52 ⇒ 10+10λ+9+9λ+9 = 52 ⇒ 19λ = 52-28 = 24 ⇒ λ = 24/19 ∴ point which lies on both line and plane is (x, y, z) = (86/19, 43/19, 3). Hence, plane meets the line at (86/19, 43/19, 3). |

What is one of the crucial reasons for lung compliance to fall?(a) Wet gases(b) Dry gases(c) High temperature gases(d) Low temperature gases |
|
Answer» Right option is (b) Dry gases For explanation: Our body is made of almost 60% of water and maintaining the water balance in the body is important. The lining of the respiratory tract contains mucus to trap any unwanted particles in the air. Even the lungs contain some percentage of water in form of moisture to better facilitate the exchange of gases in the body. Thus, when the air that is sent into the body has a low moisture content, it starts taking in moisture from the body which in the long run can desiccate the cells and cause bleeding. This causes the lung compliance the fall as well. |

Let θ be a real number. Then check whether the matrices [ cos θ − sin θ sin θ cos θ ] and [e iθ −0 0 e −iθ ] are similar over the field of complex numbers |
|
Answer» Let A = \(\begin{bmatrix} cos \theta & -sin \theta \\[0.3em] sin \theta& \cos \theta\\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix}\) B = \(\begin{bmatrix} e^{i\theta} &0 \\[0.3em] 0 & e^{-i \theta} \end{bmatrix}\) Let eigen values of matrix A is \(\lambda\)1 & \(\lambda\)2. And also let eigen values of matrix B is \(\mu\)1 & \(\mu\)2. \(\because\) Trace of any matrix is equal to sum of diagonal elements. \(\therefore\) Trace of matrix A is \(\lambda\)1 + \(\lambda\)2 = cos\(\theta\) + cos\(\theta\) = 2 cos\(\theta\) (\(\because\) Trace of matrix = sum of eigen values of that matrix) And trace of matrix B is \(\mu\)1 + \(\mu\)2 = e\(i \theta\) + e\(-i \theta\) \(\mu\)1 + \(\mu\)2 = ( cos\(\theta\) + i sin\(\theta\)) + (cos\(\theta\) - i sin\(\theta\)) = 2cos\(\theta\) Thus, \(\lambda\)1 + \(\lambda\)2 = \(\mu\)1 + \(\mu\)2 .........(1) Now |A| = \(\begin{bmatrix} cos \theta & -sin \theta \\[0.3em] sin \theta& \cos \theta\\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix}\) = cos2\(\theta\) + sin2\(\theta\) = 1. Thus \(\lambda\)1 \(\lambda\)2 = 1 (\(\because \)|A| = Product of eigen values of matrix A) And |B| = \(\begin{bmatrix} e^{i\theta} &0 \\[0.3em] 0 & e^{-i \theta} \end{bmatrix}\) = e\(i \theta\) . e\(-i \theta\) - 0 = \(e^{i\theta - i \theta}\) = e0 = 1. Thus, \(\mu\)1 \(\mu\)2 = 1 Then, \(\lambda\)1 \(\lambda\)2 = \(\mu\)1 \(\mu\)2. Now, ( \(\lambda\)1 - \(\lambda\)2)2 = ( \(\lambda\)1 + \(\lambda\)2)2 + 4 \(\lambda\)1\(\lambda\)2 = \(\big(\)\(\mu\)1 + \(\mu\)2\(\big)\)2 + 4 \(\mu\)1\(\mu\)2 = \(\big(\)\(\mu\)1 - \(\mu\)2\(\big)\)2 \(\Rightarrow\) \(\lambda\)1 - \(\lambda\)2 = \(\mu\)1 - \(\mu\)2 ..........(2) or \(\lambda\)1 - \(\lambda\)2 = -( \(\mu\)1 - \(\mu\)2) = \(\mu\)2 - \(\mu\)1 ......... (3) Case - I By adding equation (1) and (2), we get. 2\(\lambda\)1 = 2 \(\mu\)1 \(\Rightarrow\) \(\lambda\)1 = \(\mu\)1 Then form equation (1) we get \(\lambda\)2 = \(\mu\)2. Case II By adding equations (1) and (3), we get 2 \(\lambda\)1 = 2\(\mu\)2 \(\Rightarrow\) \(\lambda\)1 = \(\mu\)2. Then from equation (1), we get \(\lambda\)2 = \(\mu\)1 Hence, eigen values of both matrices A and B are same. Therefore, both matrices A and B are similar matrices Hence, both given matrices are similar over the field of complex numbers for any real value of \(\theta\). |

In the usual preparation for general surgery, the client may be __________(a) Given specifically ordered oral medications with small amounts of water(b) Given ice chips(c) NPO for 12 to 14 hours before(d) Allowed regular diet |
|
Answer» The correct answer is (a) Given specifically ordered oral medications with small amounts of water The best I can explain: General Anesthesia is the process in which the whole body becomes numb and the mind is unconscious. In such cases, the mind has no control over the bladder or the sphincter muscles. The GI track is usually kept empty before the procedure to avoid any urinary or faecal discharges. It is also best kept empty to avoid any discharges of the GI track from leaking in the abdominal, which may end up causing infections after the surgery. |

What is the function of a nebulizer?(a) To supply moisture in the form of droplets(b) To maintain temperature(c) To maintain the gas levels of individual gases(d) To check the safety of valves |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (a) To supply moisture in the form of droplets The explanation is: Nebulizers are used to convert the liquids into gaseous form and is sent on the respiratory path. This is also a method to deliver medicines in case of asthma attack, COPD etc. If the air does not contain a sufficient amount of moisture in it, it can cause a drying and desiccation of the respiratory track and pathway. This can cause problems like bleeding and injury. Thus, nebulizers are used to maintain moisture levels of the air. |

What kind of lights exists in the OT?(a) Fluorescent Lamps(b) LED lights(c) Tungsten Light(d) LCD |
|
Answer» Correct choice is (b) LED lights The best explanation: LED lights are also called shadow less lights. This is the reason they are widely used in operations as the shadow of the surgeon and nurse is not cast on the patient then. They can also produce an illumination of 70,000 – 1,20,000 lumen which ensures sufficient brightness in the theater. |

Prolonged bed rest can lead to which problem?(a) Tuberculosis(b) Diarrhea(c) Cholera(d) Hyper Tension |
|
Answer» Right answer is (a) Tuberculosis Explanation: When a person is lying down for long periods of time, the most commonly known problem that occurs is bed sores. However, long periods of bed rest also causes water to be slowly accumulated in the lungs. Due to the horizontal posture of the body, the body is not able to expel microorganisms as properly as it does in the vertical posture. The existing and accumulated water in the lungs becomes their breeding ground and the person suffers from tuberculosis. |

Strength and weaknesses of bayley scale |
|
Answer» The Screening Test of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III Screening Test) is an individually administered instrument designed to briefly assess the cognitive, language, and motor functioning of infants and young children between 1 month and 42 months of age. The primary purposes are to determine quickly whether a child is progressing according to normal expectations and to determine if further, more comprehensive evaluation is needed. The Bayley-III Screening Test items are a subset of the cognitive, language, and motor items of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III; Bayley, 2006). The Bayley-III Screening Test can be used to identify young children’s degree of risk for developmental delay and to assist the practitioner in determining whether further evaluation is necessary. By administering the Bayley-III Screening Test, the practitioner can obtain information with which to compare the child to his or her peers in just a few minutes. This approach to assessment enables practitioners to identify challenges early and to recommend interventions at the earliest possible time. The Bayley-III Screening Test is not designed to identify the degree of impairment or specific strengths or weaknesses in cognition, language, or motor functioning, nor should it be used to provide a diagnosis of developmental delay. When in-depth assessment of cognition, language, or motor functioning is indicated by the Bayley-III Screening Test, the full Bayley-III scales should be used to assist in the diagnosis of disorder and to identify areas of relative strength and weakness. |

If a PET scan is being used to detect tumors, an important constituent of the injected radioligand will be _____(a) glucose(b) lipids(c) keratin(d) riboflavin |
|
Answer» Right choice is (a) glucose To explain: For any growing or recovering part of the body, the most important content is carbohydrate which is provided by glucose. Thus, to test for a suspected malignant tumour, a glucose based radioligand is used. This radioligand is absorbed by a tumour and it collects and becomes part of the normal functioning of the body. The more the collection of the radioligand at one place, greater is the size or the activity of a tumour. |

Discuss determinants of emotion |
|
Answer» Emotions are a very important determinant of personality. Emotional factors have a huge bearing on a person’s personal and social adjustment. There are many aspects of emotions like dominant emotions, emotional balance, emotional deprivation, excessive love and affection, emotional expressions, emotional catharsis and emotional stress which affect the development of personality directly and indirectly. Different people are ruled by different predominant emotions in them. It is seen that some people, by nature are happy and cheerful people, while some are forever gloomy and fearsome. These emotions are predominant in them. The happy people will be hopeful even when they face serious, problems while the sad people will feel depressed or fearful even during celebrations or happy moments. Thus, the ruling emotion in a person determines how he behaves or feels in different situations. Emotionalllv balanced people (whose pleasant emotions are more than the unpleasant ones) are able to adjust well socially and personally. If a person experiences too many problems and obstacles in life, over time he will develop negative feelings like fear, anger, jealousy, etc. which will affect his adjustment process throughout life and develop pathological traits. If emotions like love, happiness and curiosity are not present in one’s life, it will again affect his adjustments in life. The influence that the absence of the positive emotions in one’s life has depends on how long the person the person was deprived of the emotion, at what age and to what degree. if a child does not get love and affection, he will be emotionally insecure. Such children grow up to become rebellious adolescents and adults because of the strained relationship with their parents or other family members in early childhood. |

A vestigial organ for humans found near the junction of the small and large intestine is the _______(a) Appendix(b) Nictitating Membrane(c) Coccyx(d) Pinna |
|
Answer» Correct answer is (a) Appendix To explain: In herbivores, especially like cows, the appendix produces enzymes that help in the digestion of cellulose, something that the human stomach cant do. Thus, this is a vestigial organ that is present at the junction of the large and small intestine. |
|
| 28. |
The _______ connects the small intestine and liver.(a) pulmonary vein(b) renal vein(c) hepatic portal(d) cardiac vein |
|
Answer» Right choice is (c) hepatic portal For explanation I would say: The hepatic portal connects the small intestine and the liver. After food has been digested by the intestines, the extracted nutrients and toxins move to the liver to allow the liver to purify the blood. The liver breaks down the toxic substances into less harmful substances and allows the blood to carry it away to the kidney where it gets filtered out. |
|
| 29. |
pH in the small intestine is __________(a) 2(b) 5(c) 7(d) 8 |
|
Answer» The correct option is (d) 8 The explanation is: The digestive enzymes mostly work in the basic or mildly basic mediums. When the food reaches the stomach, the high pH content of the stomach destroys the microbes and any other harmful material in the food. Then the food moves down to the small intestine where the bile salts help neutralize the acidity of the food and then make them slightly basic to allow the intestinal enzymes to work on them. |

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Every urbanite knows that the bright lights of the city make it impossible to see all the stars in a night sky. What most of us don’t know is that those lights might also be making us sick. The cause is light pollution- the unearthly glow of billions of street lamps, security and porch lights, searching, and office lights signs-as people everywhere try to dispel the limitations of the light.For the first time, light is being investigated seriously as a human health hazard, a possible contributor to the increased rate of breast cancer, depression and other ailments. And for many wildlife species, light pollution seems to be as grave an environmental threat as cleared habitats and toxic-chemical dumping. “People are beginning to take it much more seriously,” says Alan Outen, a British ecologist who has written extensively on the dangers of night brightness. “Its implications are far, bigger than ever realized.”Nearly two third of the world’s population lives under night skies polluted by light, accordance to the first atlas of the world’s artificial night-sky brightness, published by Italian and US researchers in 2001. In the most heavily urbanized regions, it no longer ever really gets dark. Satellite imagesreveal that in large areas of East North America, Western Europe, Japan and South Korea, night has become a constant twilight. Because of the reflective properties of snow, Canadian cities are particularly flooded in light pollution. In a natural night sky, someone looking at the heavens with the unaided eye should be able to see nearly 3500 stars and planets and the glow from the Milky Way, our home galaxy. But in cities like Toronto, the number of visible stars has dwindled to about a few dozen.This stunning drop has caused Canada’s foremost astronomy writer, Terence Dickinson, to lament, “It’s now possible to grow up never having been exposed to the natural beauty and. inspiration of the night sky.” The key author of the bright-sky atlas, Italian astronomer Pierantonio Cinzano, and his research team have found that many people’s eyes now never get to the stage where they are fully adapted to darkness. The researchers have calculated that one tenth of people in the world, including about 60 per cent of Canadians living in highly populated southern areas, have lost much of their night vision.Other creatures appear also to be highly susceptible to this disturbance. Lighting from office towers confuses migratory birds, which fly into buildings lit up at night. Millions of birds in North America die from these crashes. In Toronto alone, downtown skyscrapers injure or kill an estimated 24,000 birds a year, according to monitoring by a local environment group.1.What does every urbanite know?2. What have Cinzano and his team found ?3. Which health hazard is caused due to light pollution ?4. What is the thing that confuses the migratory birds ?5. What do most of us not know? |

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: The emergence of Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi as the Prime Minister of India is the true triumph of the common man. Narendra Modi is not a palace dweller. He has not been educated at the Harrow Public School which has produced many a Prime Minister and President for the various countries of the world. He comes of a Ghachi community – a recognized other backward class listed in the scheduled class list of India. His childhood saw no schooling and no good education. Later poverty deprived him of all the normal facilities which a poor child should get in a free democratic country.As a child he helped his father Damodardas sell tea at the Vadnagar Railway Station, and later ran a tea-stall with his brother near a bus terminal. During his election campaign of his political party, he patiently and politely eschewed the sarcastic remarks of the civilized spokepersons of other political parties. Some of them stooped as low as to say while addressing the election rallies, “Can a tea seller perform his duties as a Prime Minister of a huge democracy like India ?” Modesty forbids me to rewrite filthy abuses and accusations labelled against him.However all these filthy remarks failed to excite his ego and gentlemanliness. He did not resort to retaliation but confessed in his election meetings that he earned his bread with the sweat of his brow and his work as a tea-boy enabled him to bring him close to the masses. Through this closeness, he could understand their difficulties, their basic needs and their pain of deprivation.At the age of 17, he came in contact with Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh. There he was much impressed by Laxman Rao Inamdar populary known as Vakil Saheb, who was to be Modi’s political mentor. He came under the guidance of Nathulal Jaghda and other prominent leaders of Bhartiya Jan Sangh Party. They became later on the leading members of BJP in Gujarat.At the morning and evening Shakha, boy Modi came in contact with many patriots who had devoted their lives to the cause of the country. Amongst them, he came in contact with those who had done yeoman’s service to the Kashmiries when Pakistan’s Qabalies had invaded Kashmir. The stories of their sacrifices filled the boy with deeper patriotism. He felt that the RSS forum was a place where patriots were produced and trained. After the end of Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, he totally stopped working at the tea-stall with his brother and became full time Pracharak (campaigner). He earned the degree of M.A. in Political Science under Distance Education Programme from Delhi University.His successful performance as Chief Minister of Gujarat from (2001-2014) elevated him to the post of chairman of the party’s election committee. In Sept. 2013, he was announced as the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate. People attended his meetings in huge numbers and soon he became the crowd puller’ He lead the BJP-NDA to an absolute majority victory in the General Election of 2014. The Indian National Congress suffered its worst defeat.Mr Narendra Modi was sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of Indian Democracy on 26 May 2014 at Rashtrapati Bhawan. He is the first Prime Minister born after the independence of the country. He was born on September17, 1950 at Vadnagar, Distt Mehsana formerly in Bombay State but now in Gujarat. Modi is an example of the triumph of invincible spirit over the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles of life.1. Why did Narendra Modi as a boy work at his father’s tea shop ?2. Where did his brother carry on his tea-stall ?3. Where did boy Modi come in contact with the patriots ?4. Why did the BJP elevate him to the position of the Chairman of the Election. Committee ?5. “Modi is the man of the masses”. Comment. |

Answer» Respected Principal Sir, Respected teachers and my dear schoolmates! The general election of 2014 withnessed a new trend in the Indian politics. For the first time in the history of free India, the people elected a common man–a man of the street as their Prime Minister. He has risen from the masses. He knows and understands the pangs of poverty. He has slept under a leaking roof and knows how hunger pricks at the empty stomach. He, therefore, knows the troubles and misfortune of the common man. He himself is a great patriot and is honest to the core. He intends to bring good health, prosperity and good days to the remotest huts in the Indian villages. But we find unhealthy criticism on the lips of some of the politicians and the authorities that flourished on scams and ill-earned money. There may be some selfish fanatics among his supporters. They spread hatred and enmity among the various creeds to hinder development. Let us pray to God that goodness may prevail upon wickedness and the poorest Indian should feel good. Thanks. |

Answer» Respected Principal Sir, Respected teachers and my schoolmates! We have often mentioned that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. It is equally true of the nation’s mind. If our surroundings are neat and clean, we feel more enthusiastic and energetic to perform our duties. After cleaning our surroundings, we have to clean our conscience. Employers with clean conscience will work sincerely. They will not accept bribe. They will not be the victims of scams. The ministerial body with clean conscience will refuse to misuse public money. The administrative machinary working under such body of honest ministers will follow suit. Conscience becomes clean with good education, good company and by eating the bread earned with the sweat of brow. Very soon, good days willl come. Country will get rid of poverty, illness, hunger and tyranny of injustice. As our honourable Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi is emphasizing on ‘Clean India’, we should try our best to make India clean and attractive. |
