Mumbai, Jan 2 (IANS) APrime Minister Narendra Modi Friday called upon banks to create one lakh "Swachhta Entrepreneurs" within a year, to make the "Swachh Bharat" vision a sustainable reality.

The function also marked 60 years of the ICICI group.

About Akodara in Gujarat's Sabarkantha district, chosen by ICICI Bank as a 'Digital Village', Modi said it had a cattle hostel, which had contributed immensely to improving incomes and cleanliness in the village.
